SUMMARY:Italy Training Course
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\nParticipants are being sought for the Italy Training Course, which will take place for 10 days between 21-30 November 2024 in Ecovillage Torri Superiore!\n\n\n\n\nACTIVITY DESCRIPTION\nThe need for CONNECTION is basic for every being in the ecosystem. Meaningful connection is essential for every human being. Everything is what it is as a result of its relations with all other things. Dominant-materialistic-industrial culture destroyed connection of the people with their inner inherited wisdom, wild nature, spiritual world, emotions and imagination, dreams and visions and our place in more-than-human world.\nThe values of consumerism, conformity and industrial growth that rule today’s Western society have proven to be toxic and destructive to the Big Web of Life of which humans are an integral part. By destroying ecosystems and using nature as a mere resource for personal profit, we are not only destroying the future of our children and grandchildren, but already negatively impacting many people’s lifes today.\nHumanity needs an urgent change, to transform this world of deepening inequality, violence, addictions and continuing disconnection from nature (both external and internal), into one based on peace, equality, real freedom, and connection to ourselves, others and the rest of the natural world.\nThere is a need for people who, through their actions, demonstrate a life based on ecocentric values. People creating and affirming a life-enhancing culture, who inspire future generations of youth for psychological, spiritual and professional growth in harmony with nature. People laying the foundation for a future built on environmental justice, deep spirituality, compassion and acceptance.\nOBJECTIVES\nThe training will provide innovative ways and methods to address the developmental needs for belonging, meaningful connection, authenticity and purpose, and take steps towards personal transformation in a more wholesome and connected way. It will also aim at empowering the participants to offer these methods to the various groups and individuals they work with and become agents of visionary change within their communities.\n– To develop participant’s knowledge in nature-based human development by learning and practicing the principles and models of eco-centric development.\n– To develop new skills, competences and ideas in facilitating the development of meaningful connection and authentic relating.\n– To provide an opportunity to experience a space of safety, intimacy, and profound connection in which personal exploration is encouraged and supported by community.\n– To engage and guide participants through innovative processes of personal transformation.\n– To inspire in the participants a shift in values and worldviews that will foster empathy to all creatures and a sense of oneness with all human and non-humans.\n– To support participant’s connection to their sense of responsibility for the environment and Earth’s future.\nACCOMMODATION, MEALS AND TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS\nParticipation fee\nNo participation fee required.\nAccommodation and food\nAll costs will be covered by the Erasmus+ programme.\nTravel reimbursement\nParticipants will have to buy their tickets in advance and will be reimbursed after the activity.
