Zusammenfassung & Show Notes

 Actually, everything was planned quite differently. For a long time, I wanted to make a podcast and talk with friends from communities, ecovillages, and communes about the many beautiful sides and also about the challenges in community life. Because German is my mother tongue, it was also clear that this podcast should be in German. But then everything turned out quite differently. On February 24, 2022, the war in Ukraine began and my involvement with GEN-Europe focused on supporting friends in Ukraine from the community environment and the permaculture movement. As a member of the GEN-Europe coordination team I had regular contact with Iryna, Anastasyia, Maksim and Taras, and others from Ukraine, but also with Camilla from Denmark, Charlie from Spain, Riccardo from Italy, and many more, who were all involved in Ukraine and so it was obvious to take up my podcast idea again and simply report about this work, which of course also has a lot to do with communities. So the idea for the podcast "all about community" was born and since most of the interviewees don't speak German I decided to start a podcast in English as well. 
 So now there are two podcasts."All about community" exclusively in English and "Was mit Gemeinschaft" in which I also publish the English podcasts (in the hopeful assumption that most of the German-speaking listeners also speak English) and in which I also want to publish podcasts in German in the future. In addition, there is "All about communities" for all English-speaking people who are interested in life and work around the communities in Ukraine. We will see how the whole thing will develop. In any case, I am curious.
