Objectives

The main objective of Agroyoga – Permaculture and Body Awareness - work mobility project is to promote the acquisition of practical skills and theoretical knowledge in the fields of permaculture and body movement in order to increase participants’ personal competences and professional opportunities in the field of sustainable practices. Through team-building activities and group/partner practices, the project aims at infuse a sense of community and cooperation that can be replicated in participants’ daily work and personal environment and that will contribute to strengthen their involvement as active citizens in European societies. In addition, the multi-linguistic and multi-cultural environment of the project will encourage participants to exchange and share projects and ideas in a variety of languages and cultural approaches, increasing their linguistic competences, raising their awareness and promoting the vision towards for an inclusive multi-cultural society where no-one is left behind. The nature of the project, for its contents, teaching/learning methods and hosting environment, aims at infusinga sense of responsibility towards Nature, the living world, its communities (in Europe and beyond)and the human body. The idea is that this transformational residential experience will encourage the dissemination and exploitation of acquired competences related to sustainable practices in the communities of origin in futuretrainings, teachings, formal and informal activities as well as in participants’ daily behaviour. This will contribute to Furthermore, by establishing strong network of organisations and of individuals working in different EU countries towards the same goals of sustainability focussed on care for the Earth and for the People, we aim at developing long-lasting collaborations that strengthen participating organisations’ international dimension and recognition as sustainability experts. Last but not least, this project aims at training skilled professionals who stand out in the job market as teachers and/or sustainability experts, and who are able to implement innovative and replicable methods to teach sustainability in all its aspects and in a variety of ways and that better suit the needs of the youth they work with, their own human needs and the challenges brought about the environmental and the migration crisis.
