Meeting with Camilla Nielsen Englyst, member of the Global Ecovillage Network Council and resident in Hallingelille, an ecovillage in Denmark, probably the only one in the world with a zebra!
Since 1993, Denmark has been a catalyst to impulse the ecovillage movement. It is the country with the highest number of ecovillages per capita.
A lot of initiatives are developed with the support of the national network Landsforening for Økosamfund.

Hallingelille, a committed eco-community
Hallingelille is an ecovillage of 50 members living few kilometers away from Copenhagen.
They live in separate family or friends houses. They also have a community common house where they host events, conferences, yoga classes and other activities.
Different generations are co-living there since 15 years.
Eco-building, permaculture, hosting refugees, European volunteering programs, reforestation projects and horse riding, renewable energies: the projects are not missing.
” As humans we have the power to destroy but also to regenerate. Ecovillages provide an alternative to mainstream society”
– Camilla Nielsen Englyst, a woman very active in the ecovillage movement
