GEN Mission, Vision and Purposes

Vision:
We envision a planet of diverse cultures of all life united in creating communities in harmony with each other and the Earth, while meeting the needs of this and future generations.

Mission:
We are creating a sustainable future by identifying, assisting and coordinating the efforts of communities to acquire, social, spiritual, economic and ecological harmony. We encourage a culture of mutual acceptance and respect, solidarity and love, open communications, cross-cultural outreach, and education by example. We serve as a catalyst to bring the highest aspirations of humanity into a practical reality.

GEN contributes to the worldwide transformation toward sustainability, by supporting ecovillages, joining with like-minded partners, and expanding education and demonstration programs in sustainable living.

  • develop Living and Learning Centers worldwide, to promote hands-on participatory education in sustainable living;

  • support worldwide development of whole systems and experiential learning;

  • advocate for sustainable communities in public forums;

  • partner and collaborate with organizations and people who share our vision.
