Core Activities

A creative innovative approach to Sustainability

The Somatic Movement Workshops, designed using the Laban Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS), offer a unique way to explore educational themes through immersive, embodied experiences that also promote self-awareness and physical and mental well-being. These workshops enrich Gaialux’s approach to sustainability, adding a holistic and systemic perspective to the challenge of exploring new paths for societal development. The arts from I.D.E.E., along with literature and poetry, will serve as a source of inspiration. The Somatic Movement Workshops are conceived by the Movement Analyst Caterina Fava (Discover more about this methodology to see how it can enrich your approach to education and personal development here).

Think, Act, Change:

Become a Change-maker for Sustainability

In-depth workshops will deepen understanding of selected sustainable topics, with the support of non-formal methods, field surveys, and design thinking. A group of young participants will be mentored to become Eco-movers of I.D.E.E. en Action, leading initiatives to amplify the project’s impact. These young change-makers will not only gain knowledge on key issues but also develop the skills to design and implement their own awareness campaigns. A conclusive moment of reflection will combine the creative and scientific journeys. This module of the project will be conducted by Kehsia, based on its expertise in participatory methodologies and youth empowerment, with the coordination of Gaialux.

In addition, special sessions can be organized on specific themes in collaboration with experts from Gaialux’s network. Topics cover various aspects of sustainable and, among others, include: the limits of growth and shortcomings of GDP as a measure of progress; overconsumption and inequality as ecological challenges; inequalities and social justice; climate-induced migration; carbon footprint, ‘Climate Fresque‘ workshops based on IPCC latest report.

A tribute to Rossella Kohler

I.D.E.E. and IDEE en Action are dedicated to Rossella Kohler, a teacher and geographer. Her message, “Dear girls and boys, let’s change the world together” will continue to inspire the IDEE pedagogical journey. Rossella traveled the globe and met passionate young climate activists. Through her novels, they will talk and inspire more students along the IDEE journey. Some of these stories were brought to life during the first edition of I.D.E.E. (here). Many of these stories are still in search of a voice and interpreters, through the art of drawing and storytelling. Teachers, students, yourth centers are invited to join our artists to give new life to the remaining climate stories by Rossella.
