Our first Hope Hub in Galicia, Spain.
Nested in a future regenerative neighbourhood!
Hi, welcome to the Hope Hub in Galicia!
Manolo, a Galician permaculture enthusiast bought a small abandoned village and 20 hectar of old forest in Mañon, Galicia. Hannah & Julia met him in 2023 on their search for the right place to prototype the first Hope Hub. Yup, it's a match! Together they decided to bring the village back to life and implement the Hope Hub concept to protect and revitalize the region.
WE SHOWCASE THAT CHANGE IS POSSIBLE!
BUILDING A PROTOTYPE TO INSPIRE OTHER REGIONS!
Bioconstruction, regeneration and 7-generations thinking
We build in harmony with the Earth to restore and regenerate resources so that future generations can live safely and joyfully.
Collective Governance and Stewardship Models
Creating democratic structures that protect the sustainability of communities and the Earth and build community wealth instead of private capital & privilege.
Next to individual households for permanent residents, we build wheelchair friendly community houses for short- and long term guests to live, stay and work together. We welcome intergenerality.
Co-living and working
Revitalizing culture & community
We build an outdoor café and amphitheatre, a sports field and food forests to gather and enjoy community and events. We aim for a high degree of self-sufficiency regarding food and energy production, sharing surplus with the region.
Education and Innovation Hub
We collaborate with and invite schools and Universities for educational offers and research. The aim is to collaboratively learn and spread the knowledge generated through multipliers.
While we build and connect community structures locally to strengthen regional resilience, we are connected through the global Hope Hub network and our shared values of humanity and justice.
Global citizenship, local rootedness
