Re.RuRal ECOsystem
Re.RuRal - ECOsystem Cycle of 10 international learning mobilities.
It aims to develop a network that is focused on good regenerative practices at a social and ecological level in the rural world.
We are building a network of partnerships in the Transition Village of São Luís, organized by Co.Re - Rural Learning Center.
We had the first learning mobility between October 19th and 25th, 2024.
This activity was intended to:
​
* Share the good practices we are applying in our rural context
* Plan future collaborations with organizations working in rural areas
* Radically reimagining the future of rural areas in collaboration with the Transition Network
​
We apply non-formal education principles and work on experiential learning activities;
* Involvement with the local community, landscape and culture,
* Promote spaces for learning and growth among peers.
* Balance between head, heart and hands.
Planned learning outcomes
* Exchange of good practices in working with young people, promoting participation and ecological responsibility in rural areas;
* Experience the community engagement and rural development practices implemented in São Luis;
* Establish links and develop collaborative relationships with youth workers and NGOs across Europe to implement high-quality network projects;
* Explore with Rob Hopkins how radical imagination can guide our actions.
On the last day of this training we had a very special conference
“How to Fall in Love with the Future:
Unleash the Power of Imagination”
