Eco-life: Regenerative Paths is a comprehensive training that promotes environmental responsibility and social inclusion using a holistic approach to sustainability. The project has the objective of providing young youth workers with the theoretical and practical skills in environmental education to develop awareness, career prospects, social and personal empowerment, and replicable teaching tools in social and environmental education. The Eco-life project aspires to change the perspective on the crisis, see it as an opportunity to re-imagine the future by taking individual and collective responsibility for a sustainable growth and an inclusive society through replicable practices grounded on the 8 learning skills’ awareness and achievements. The objectives of the Eco-life project are based on ecocentrism, instead of anthropocentrism, an alternative perception of reality to which we aim to introduce youth workers via non-formal education focusing on permaculture principles and definitions. This approach aims to provide the participants with theoretical and practical tools to introduce ecological regenerative actions in everyday life, in the small habits that in the long term create a great change. We detected three fundamental needs coming from youth workers we address with our Eco-life Course: 1)knowledge: improve learning performance, career prospects and professional profiles through the acquisition of new knowledge on Earth and lost ancient practices combined with contemporary scientific knowledge;2)training: enhance employability, increase the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, of motivation by learn-by-doing, communicating in foreign languages, and replicable non-institutional education and training. Non-formal education tools provide a valuable opportunity to shift vision and to reproduce and multiply these practices within youth workers' or trainers' communities;3)interconnection: enhance self-empowerment and self-esteem, intercultural awareness, learn to address the needs of the disadvantaged, increase support for and promotion of mobility activities for learners, acknowledge the need for companionship and collaborative efforts to affect change. In our trainings we develop and apply democratic non-violent communication to express individual needs and to build active listening, participation, empathy, proactive reactions and local community resilience. The three primary concepts around which the project and the non-formal training evolve are: People Care – concentrating on the positives of our reality and on empowering oneself by taking responsibility through non-violent, democratic communications, and non-formal education considered a learner-centered, peer-to-peer, participatory educational approach, lead by example; Earth Care – concentrating on transmitting ancient traditional and contemporary scientific knowledge on the concept of living soil, considered a parameter to measure the health and the well being of society; Fair Share – concentrates on disavow the false idea of continuous and perpetual growth, which is neither possible nor acquirable, further bringing awareness to the effects of the anthropocentric perspective on reality and on the exploitation of limited resources.
