Ecovillages and communities building a resilient Baltic Sea Region
The Baltic Ecovillage Network (BEN) connects ecovillages, community-led initiatives, NGOs and associations around the Baltic Sea. We learn from each other, share practical solutions and show that living sustainably and in community is possible.
Connect
We link communities across the Baltic Sea Region so that good ideas, skills and relationships travel further than any one place could take them.
Learn
We offer workshops, trainings and knowledge-sharing for adults and young adults on sustainability, social entrepreneurship and community-led development.
Regenerate
Ecovillages are living labs. They bring together the ecological, economic, social and cultural dimensions of sustainability, and we help share what they discover.
What we are working on now
FinEthiCom
Making ethical and solidarity finance understandable and accessible for community-led initiatives across Europe.
FREE-IT
Education for digital sovereignty, ethics and free and open-source software in European ecovillage networks.
Community Lab
A youth exchange in an ecovillage on personal growth, conflict resolution and living together sustainably.
Be part of the network
Whether you live in an ecovillage, run a community project, work in education or are simply curious, there is a place for you in BEN.
