Transformation in Community - The European Ecovillage Gathering

Ecovillages have been around for some decades, giving rise to many different communities around the world and in Europe. In many ways they provided fertile ground for new experiments in ecological farming, in living together, in decision making and dialogue and how to deal with human diversity. But many of the hopes for ecological and social change that fueled the founding of Ecovillages have not been manifested in the way many people hoped for. It seems there are various backlashes in social and ecological dimensions of Western societies. How do Ecovillages respond to this dynamic? How does this change their approach or self-understanding? What are the challenges and potentials for Ecovillages in these difficult times we are in? How can Ecovillages be places of building trust together?

In Radio evolve we speak about these questions with Dario Ferraro, a project manager, facilitator, and filmmaker who divides his time between Vilnius, Lithuania, and the Torri Superiore Ecovillage in Italy. Dario is active in the European Ecovillage Network, whose annual gathering is taking place this year at the Nature Community near Regensburg with the theme “To Dare to Trust”.
