Beginning January ZEGG had a spontaneous visit by two Iranians, father and son, that belong to a group that want to found and build an ecovillage outside Tehran. A longtime Iranian friend living in Tehran initiated the group. He was visiting ZEGG several times.
The group bought 1ha of land on 1800m an is ready to start. They asked for our support, morally and with our social and ecological knowledge. During Summer 2016 20 members of this group want to journey to ZEGG and stay for at least one week. They wish to learn as much from our experiences as possible.
Achim Ecker and Ina Meyer-Stoll showed them around and planned with them. They plan to support the visit and make it financially viable. For this we are seeking donations. The planned tour should also include 7Linden and other communities, so that they can get a broad impression of what is possible. Achim and Ina are excited and inspired about the possibility to plant ideas and practice of community life and ecovillages also in this part of the world and want to support it as much as possible. Especially in this time of western induced war and conflict.
