This is based on a broad definition of sustainability that embraces environmental, economic, social and cultural criteria. It should be stressed that, to the best of our knowledge, there is at present no intentional community that fully exemplifies all the characteristics in the check-list. All the projects associated with GEN are in different stages of working towards implementing these sustainability criteria.
Projects have different starting points but the same common vision.
We are all beginners when it comes to creating a sustainable future. Lectures and courses Members of the network are available to take part in introductory and specialised courses, seminars and conferences. See the GEN online calendar , or write to your regional secretariat for upcoming courses. Projects tend to specialise in particular training fields.
