This is a very brief overview of NextGEN, for more information please see www.nextgen.cc

We are the Next Generation for 3 reasons:

 
Next Generation of Ecovillages – NextGEN shares the principles, concepts, and knowledge of the Ecovillage movement.  We share this wealth of knowledge with our cities, universities, schools, businesses, governments, and communities.  By integrating the knowledge of the ecovillage movement into the rest of the world, we are creating the next generation of ecovillages. 

 
Next Generation of our world –Our global network empowers youth and provides a platform where their voice can be heard.  

Next Generation of thinking –"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" (Einstein).  NextGEN aims to realize a new paradigm.
If you have the new thinking needed for our changing times, NextGEN welcomes you to become part of our creative endeavors.  There are no age restrictions; the only qualification is an open mind.
 

>>>INSPIRATION>>>SUPPORT>>>ACTION>>>

The 3 pillars of NextGEN 

 
NextGEN’S Vision is:
“We envision a world where wisdom is passed from one generation to another, empowering everyone, giving youth a voice and an active role in the co-creation of a sustainable future”

NextGEN’S Mission is:
“To inspire all youth and provide the support necessary to take action towards creating a sustainable world”

Inspiration, Support, and Action for a sustainable future 

NextGEN is a community that empowers you to create a sustainable future.  We are a diverse collective of individuals, communities, and NextGEN circles who work together for the common aim of a sustainable world.
A NextGEN circle of Inspiration, Support, and Action is a group of people who inspire and support each other to take action.  This action can be as simple as creating meetings where like-minded people can build community or as complex as creating permaculture projects in your neighborhood.  Your NextGEN circle may become strong enough to create a Transition Town movement (link to www.transitiontowns.org) in which you aid your city in living in harmony with nature, while improving your local economy and the general living conditions and well-being of your neighbors

The NextGEN community is growing, become part of this growth and realize your power as we co-create our world and future. We welcome all who are committed to creating a more sustainable world.
