Community Living Education
Transforming is the path
Education is the transforming path.
Free education for a free spirit world.
The art of change: Transform ourself, transform the world.
Living education (is) the key of change.
Is it possible to demonstrate how we can respond to social and educational problems by supporting positive change in adult education policy at local, national and international levels?
The CLEA project network is determined to consolidate an inclusive and multi-agent methodology for adult education in the EU, based on a multiplicity of disciplines and languages, addressing poverty and adult educational exclusion through an innovative strategy and inclusive community learning environments.
The CLEA project aims to help, extend and develop the skills of the educators and other professionals, through processes of active and participatory citizenship; integrate teaching / learning methods through different languages and transformative experiences.
The CLEA project will identify successful processes and methodologies in participatory community paths, improving informal learning, also through the recognition of developed transformative competences.
Community Living Educ-Actions are privileged environments as they are open ecosystems that involve and motivate the innovation processes of the participants, stimulate collaboration between citizens, facilitate and accelerate the creation and sustainability of new socio-economic, educational and healthy living models .
CLEA is designed for educators and those who have the will to believe they can change their condition and participate in a growing community.
CLEA offers educators, social workers and artists, tools and best practices for the development of competences and personal and professional growth.
CLEA acts on educational poverty using artistic / creative languages based on the pleasure of doing, overcoming the boundaries of cultures, religions, genders, socio-economic and health conditions.
CLEA chooses the metaphor of the journey where each arrival is a new departure, with the intention of strengthening the courage to act for one’s own well-being in a civil coexistence.
Freedom of expression facilitates authenticity and awareness through relationships of esteem, trust, understanding.
The suspension of judgment in artistic practice and the enhancement of the “present” moment create a “safe space” in which to explore new points of view and imagine new perspectives.
The educator learns and transmits the welcome with the body, the listening with the contact, the enhancement of attitudes in view of new competences
In CLEA’s journey there is an invitation to welcome doubt, uncertainty as fertile ground and not as an obstacle.
Only through the crisis and the reflection on possible new motivations can the concreteness of change be reached.
Being creators, practically, and not just creative, in order to be able to imagine and realize a shared vision that always takes into account the differences of individuals, but which builds a common path of well-being for the body and soul, for the individual and the community.
