Description

The following project - Nature, Art and Movement for Entrepreneurship and Development (NAMED) - is a youth initiative between local groups of 3 European countries (Spain, Germany and England) which aims to share, transfer and innovate in tools and practices that participants are already implementing in their communities. These skills are related to personal development and youth social entrepreneurship, and focus particularly on the non-traditional tools of Art, Body and Movement, and Nature. It is a 20-month project (from May 2017 to December 2018). The proposal highlights the project’s emphasis on creating inclusive spaces in which to apply these innovative tools to youth in our communities. Key areas of focus within these spaces will be promotion of tolerance, empathy, acceptance of diversity, and inclusion of disadvantaged groups.Each local group is formed by 4 young participants, all between 24 and 30 years old. Each of these groups is currently developing and implementing methodologies related to one of the three core disciplines of the project: Art, Body and Movement, and Nature. The local groups are presently active in working with their local communities. We are interested in sharing our collective skill base and in incorporating the tools that each partner practices, in order to expand our skills and competencies. The result will be to provide new and more comprehensive workshop for the development of the young people in our respective environments. To actualise these plans, we will create trainings in which each local group will offer the other partners training in their area of expertise. The objective here is to share our best practices, experiences and challenges. In addition, we will have a fourth training in Social Entrepreneurship, related to personal and community development.Through this strategic partnership we intend to integrate this diversity of methodologies and areas of work in a new and innovative NON- FORMAL EDUCATIONAL YOUTH PROGRAM ON PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP. Through this workshop we want to provide tools for the participants for finding their identity, building self-confidence, unlocking desires and concerns that moves them, and increase their own capacities to undertake projects that offer solutions to the challenges of their communities, and encourage their active participation in their local communities. Pilot workshops will be run in each community, to finalise the educational framework and put into action the methodologies developed during the trainings. Holistic education is used as the basic methodology. This has at its core the consideration of people as integrated subjects, which strives to simultaneously develop their mental abilities, emotional self, and spiritual body. It also continuously works from 3 perspectives of the subject: the individual self, the social self in community, and the global ‘I’ in relation to the planet as a whole. We hope that this proposal is the first step on a long road of collective work between the different social groups, and that it allows us to develop these dreams we have and to consolidate them in a professional structure. Our aim is to share these practices with other peers around Europe, and for them to multiply through the applied educational program we intend to create, paving the way for new dreams and projects to arise from this collective, cooperative and inclusive partnership.
