About this listen

 This podcast is all about the topic of cohabitation.It was supposed to be a German-language podcast, but the events in Ukraine have of course overtaken me too, and so this podcast is first about the commitment of the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) -Europe and GEN-Ukraine and their support for people in Ukraine. But it will also be about communities in general.  My name is Steffen Emrich, and I have been closely involved with communities for about 25 years. I advise communities, am a sociocracy trainer and, among other things, a founding member of GEN-Germany and currently active on the board of GEN-Europe.  If you want to support the GEN-Ukraine please check: www.gen-europe.org  and/or donate to  Postbank Berlin IBAN: DE 11100100100007681105 BIC: PBNKDEFF  - Donation - Ukraine If you want to contact me: semrich@posteo.de  // www.procorde.netSteffen Emrich Relationships Social Sciences

     Welcome to the 3rd episode of this podcast "all about Community". Thank you for the great and helpful feedback I have already received. 
     The war in Ukraine is now in its sixth week and no one knows how the situation will develop. Already at the end of March I was lucky enough to talk to Anastasyia Volkova. She lives in the ecovillage Zeleni Kruchi, pretty much in the middle of Ukraine and she told me how she experienced the first days of the war, why time stood still in Ukraine on 24 February and what has changed for her as a young mother but also as a permaculture and ecovillage activist since then.

  • #2 Iryna Kazakova shares her experiences from Kharkiv and why solidarity is so important

    #2 Iryna Kazakova shares her experiences from Kharkiv and why solidarity is so important
    Mar 29 2022
     Iryna KazakovaIn this 2nd podcast, I talk with Iryna Kazakova. Iryna lived in Kharkiv until recently, but immediately after the war began she moved to her mother in the surrounding area. She tells us what she had to leave behind, but also what is much more important than the material things. Iryna gives us a small insight into what people in Ukraine have to endure right now and how hard it is not to know if close friends or relatives are still alive. But she also takes us to the work she is doing right now. How the Ukrainian Permaculture Network and the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN)-Ukraine are working together and how important it is to feel solidarity from outside.

    #1 Maksym Zalevski talks about GEN-Ukraine
    Mar 27 2022
    In this first podcast, I talk with Maksym Zalevski. Maksym is not only a board member of GEN-Ukraine, but one of the activists from the very beginning. He will tell us what the "Green Road" is, how people in the communities started to help refugees inside Ukraine after a short time and why greenhouses and why working in the fields is also important for the psyche.
