Ecovillages act as research and training centres 
for sustainable development within wider society. 
Alongside the abundance of networking 
opportunities and the flow of inspiration within 
and between participants, the hosting Eco-Valley 
Foundation will serve as a living example and 
field of practice for the themes of this year’s conference:
Global Scope of GEN – meeting engaged 
GEN-networkers and learning from best practice 
examples from all over the planet, including 
GEN-Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Developments in GEN – an interactive map of 
sustainability projects for the world; the first 
Ecovillage Design Education courses in Senegal, Congo and South Africa 

Villages in Transition to Resilience – how 
traditional village networks can use 
participatory design processes for the journey 
towards a sustainable society; and ways of 
reversing the trend towards urbanization.
Gaming - how to express our dedication to, and 
love for, the world in quests, adventures and 
shared journeys that are fun instead of hard work!!
Sustainable Economy - alternatives to the 
prevalent growth model for creating resilient 
local economies e.g. a community-wide currency, 
developing fair trade relationships and more 

Alternative Technology - hands-on experience and 
the theoretical background to innovative 
technologies that make a real difference
NextGEN  - The next generation in the Global 
Ecovillage Network: involving youth and young adults in sustainable projects

More Workshops:
Beyond Consensus – Exploring Sociocracy and Holacracy
The Art of Recycling – Creating Beauty from Waste 
(click here for a list of material to bring!)
Empowered Fundraising – Allowing funds to flow into Sustainability
Open Space: Opportunities to share as interest arises

Each day of the conference will start with talks 
and project presentations, move into smaller 
group conversations and then be followed by 
Workshops and Open Space in small groups in the afternoon.

The conference will provide a multitude of 
opportunities to get to know the other 
participants and for informal exchange. Each 
participant will also be a member of a Home Group 
where they can touch base and deepen their experience each day.

The conference will be facilitated by Capra 
Carruba, Robin Alfred and Kosha Joubert.
Our hosting partner community

Eco-Valley Foundation is based at the intentional 
community of Krishna Valley in southwest Hungary. 
The main purpose of the Eco-Valley Foundation is 
to facilitate the sharing of practical 
experience, education and collaboration with 
academic research institutes regarding sustainability.

Krishna Valley with it's 140 inhabitants is 
Hungary’s largest and most organized ecovillage 
community. The 266 hectares of the Valley 
situated 180 km southwest from the capital, have 
been developed in ecologically sound ways since 
1993. Right from the beginning the main principle 
behind the development was self-sufficiency with 
the help of common work, social development and traditional technologies.

Krishna Valley is self-sufficient in vegetables, 
fruit, grains and honey. Other features are 
renewable energy production (solar panels, 
windmills), a reed bed water purification system, 
a school and a Botanical Garden counting 950 
species of trees and bushes. Based on the 
religious background of the community, the 
inhabitants dedicate their lives to develop a more sustainable future.

25-30.000 tourists visit the Valley annually.

"The maintenance of secrets acts like a psychic 
poison which alienates the possessor from the community" Carl Jung

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered 
that shall not be revealed; and nothing hid that 
shall not be made known. What I tell you in 
darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye 
hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27

Die Pride and Envie; Flesh, take the poor's advice.
Covetousnesse be gon: Come, Truth and Love arise.
Patience take the Crown; throw Anger out of dores:
Cast out Hypocrisie and Lust, which follows whores:
Then England sit in rest; Thy sorrows will have end;
Thy Sons will live in peace, and each will be a friend.
