Open
Space is a place where you can get acquainted, exchange information, addresses
and opinions. Through the process of OPEN
Space* you can bring your
innovative ideas and share your work.
You can follow your passion with responsibility.
*Open Space is a
fun way for organizing seminars and conferences that releases the inherent
creativity and leadership abilities of participants, and encourages collective
action through self-organization.
Our
aim is to create the spirit of solidarity and co-operation, through creating the conditions where growth
and internetworking of eco-communities in
Greece and their connection to the World scene can take place.
Across
the planet the eco-communities movement
is evolving with the creation of
eco-villages, eco-settlements, eco-cooperatives of self-sufficiency, etc.
An
Eco-community is a group of people
that collectively determine the
conditions under which they coexist and cooperate without necessarily being
relatives. Individuality does not contradict being a team, whilst the
development of each individual is a prerequisite for the development of all. It
is a consciously designed settlement that with local participatory processes
activates the holistic integration of ecological, economic, social and cultural
human activities for the sustainability and regeneration of the social and
natural environment.

“It is likely that the next Buddha will not come in the form of an individual. Can the next Buddha come in the form of a community - a community that is exerted on the understanding and full of love, kindness, a community applied inlife with awareness? This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of Earth.” Thich Nhat Hanh
