Lately, I (Paulina Orbitowska-Fernandez) am holding the space for the youth workers, psychotherapists, psychologists, leaders. What I'm hearing is a huge concern about young people facing loneliness, emptiness, loss of hope, depression.
I believe there is a big longing for real, nurturing connections with oneself, others and nature.
Thanks to the European Union, together with Fundacja Mudita from, Elegast from Belgium, Asociacion Promesas from Spain and Stranded from Italy, we are co-creating tangible tools to support young people in growing resilience, emotional intelligence and eco-awareness. Our intention is to hold safe space for them to learn how to build strong relationships with themselves, with others, their communities, other beings.
We are combining 4 approaches: NVC, Nonviolent resistance and New Authority, Social Theatre and Eco-Mindfulness to make our work holistic.

Please, cross your fingers, so we can reach our ambitious goals!
