Rise & Regenerate - Rites of passage
International Youth Activism Course
August 26th - September 6th 2024
Essertfallon - Jura - Switzerland
Welcome to "Rise & Regenerate - Rites of Passage" 2024
Our program is dedicated to raising awareness and fostering action on critical ecological and social issues.
We believe in a holistic approach to activism and post-activism, one that recognizes the intricate connections between the climate crisis and various systems of inequality such as race, gender identity, disability, and class.
We will put focus into deconstructing paradigms, decolonizing our worldview, and staying with discomfort as we navigate the complexities of the world together.
In our activities, deeply rooted in deep ecology and rites of passage, participants will find the strength and insight needed to navigate the pain of the world and its transformation. Through exploration of personal realities and community shaping, our aim is to equip individuals with the tools and motivation required for profound societal change.
Throughout this transformative journey, our goal is to support the development of healthy, resilient individuals.
We focus on uncovering unique talents, nurturing creativity, and fostering a sense of responsibility towards our communities.
Our structured program, designed akin to a rite of passage, guides participants through profound metamorphosis, leaving them nourished, empowered, and with a clear sense of purpose.
Our program is open to young people aged 18 to 30, as well as group leaders (one for each country) with no age limit, from Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and South Africa.
This highly affordable course offers practical experiences in systemic, networked, distributed lifestyle and collaborative leadership opportunities.
Should you be selected, the minimum participation fee stands at 150 euros, adaptable according to individual circumstances. This fee covers accommodation, meals, activities, and sessions. For those facing financial constraints, please reach out to us to explore available solutions.
Travel expenses are refunded up to 300 Euro for Italy and Germany and 50 CHF for participants coming from Switzerland. The course is so affordable thanks to the co-funding of Movetia foundation.
