Story

Within Suderbyn we work and create together. On one hand we are an eco-village on the island of Gotland, where we aim to live close to nature and each other, and achieve not only sustainable but regenerative lifestyle, with the focus on earth-care, people-care and fair share. On another hand we are an NGO working internationally and locally with the focuses on youth, re-learning, environmental resilience, non-violence, social justice, sustainable lifestyle, education and international cooperation.

We question patterns of consumption, social structures and cultural stereotypes. We experiment in different areas with innovation and traditional knowledge with the attempt to create a model of healthy and happy society, enjoying the diversity of people. We work with educational projects. We regenerate the connections between people and between people and nature. We relearn what once was told to us.
