About
Every eco-community is unique — no two are the same. They can be rural or urban. An ecovillage is one particular form of eco-community: a citizen-led initiative intentionally designed with attention for all dimensions of sustainability.
Each project finds its own balance across four interconnected dimensions:
What we do
Twice a year we bring communities together for presentations, workshops and exchange.
We participate in local and international events around community living and sustainability.
Practical training programme for communities that are just starting out.
We map existing and emerging eco-communities across Belgium.
Training and Erasmus+ exchanges through our partnership with GEN Europe.
Connecting communities, organisations and individuals building a sustainable future.
Mission
Belgeco aims to unite the dynamics around ecological communities in Belgium — both within and outside cities. These communities each strive in their own way for greater sustainability on social, economic, cultural and ecological levels.
"We dream of a cohesive network of mutual cooperation for a better world for all living beings."
Our goal is to form a collaborative network, supported by existing and emerging eco-communities and engaged organisations. Belgeco is the Belgian branch of GEN Europe, embedded in the Global Ecovillage Network.
