Last-Minute Call for Participants - EYE Africa-Europe
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

EYE (Ecovillage Youth Exchange) Africa-Europe is a collaborative project between GEN Africa and GEN Europe. The project envisions an exchange for young adults involved in the ecovillage movements in Africa and Europe, where we explore steps towards healing and reconciliation between and within the two continents. We focus on youth empowerment through skill-building and exchange of knowledge around ecological living, education and project development, working towards a regenerative and community-oriented future.

The first EYE cycle involves Germany and Senegal as partner countries. A group of 5 young adults from Senegal and 5 young adults from Germany will have the chance to explore the question of how young adults in the ecovillage movement can empower and support each other in their activism for change across continents.

This includes a 3-week visit of the Senegalese participants to Germany from July 16th to the 9th of August 2022, and a return visit of the German participants to Senegal from November 23rd to the 18th of December 2022. The whole group of ten will be hosted at ecovillages in Germany and Senegal during these visits. The programme also includes a series of online meetings before and after the visits.
