For example, by learning practical ways towards a sustainable lifestyle (from zero-waste household through permaculture to bioconstruction), by researching local eco communities and movemenets, besides by working on projects which foster the learning and knowledge sharing among different (urban and rural) intentional commuinities, and in long term by creating new, or joining already existing communities in my region. This is a Life Project ^_^
Projects which support the sustainable transformation of cities and societies could include for example workshops, discussions, podcasts, blogs and websites, articles, studies etc (for knowledge sharing, but also for connecting online), and besides offline activities like events, festivals (involving "green" NGOs), side-projects like creating an "incubator" house (a community space for ecological-social experiments), research (fieldwork with interviews, short films)... Basically I think what is needed is to support people (who are interested in this topic) find each other, learn from each other and share experiences, find their goals, create their communities and start their sustainable living projects together in communities, inside or outside the city...
Hello Guys,
Here are some links of projects which would be worth to consider:
http://www.kiskozossegek.hu/en
This is the English version of the website of KKP (Small Communities Programme), my past research group in Hungary. It is a volunteers-based research group where we investigate (and support) local sustainable communities and community initiations, gathering good practices. We are writing a handbook for many years including good examples towards a sustainable life (in communities). We are also organizing meetings for members of different eco communities. Meanwhile we launched a portal (http://kiutak.hu/) which is kind of a simplified version of the book which is still being written, based on our research and field works, with various tips and examples in different topics for sustainable living and community development. This portal could be translated into English and then shared in different forums. I really would like to create a similar research group in Barcelona and do similar activities, in strong cooperation with KKP. They are also open for the idea. I am hoping that if I could organize or get involved in workshops, I could find people who would be interested.
This is the web of the Global Ecovillage Network, which I also really like, although it is getting a bit too formal and commercialized, but it`s only my impression... but the initiative itself is really good:
https://ecovillage.org/
And this one below (Holistic Centers Network) I only found recently, as I see GEN is also a partner. I hope this week I will have time to dig into it more deeply, and I also want to ask them if they maybe want to open a center in Barcelona? Because I would be up for working in it :D They have a research section as well, which seems really exciting!
Definitely! I have been struggling for a while with creating or finding a (serious) team, so it would be great if we could co-operate ^_^
If you want, you can also write or send me anything by mail (vidak.zsofia@gmail.com)
Do you want me to open a project in the co-creation section and start from there? How would you like the project to be called? Do you want it private or public? Thanks
Hi, I have been working a bit on the project idea and its getting pretty finished :)) I will share it with you soon! I will create the project page and I will invite you. For now I would make it private. I will come back soon on the next week. Zsofi
