The Art of Wholeness
The ART OF WHOLENESS project
‘The Art of Wholeness - innovative tools and practices for inclusion of vulnerable young people’
The project aimed at raising the quality and promote innovation in youth work in order to foster social inclusion, creativity, resilience and the acquirement of skills and competences for youth (especially the vulnerable ones) through new educational concepts that use nature, creativity and art.
The main concept addressed throughout this project is Ecocentric and Soulcentric Education - an education approach based on the revolutionary and interdisciplinary concept of psychology inspired by nature and the human soul. The concept focuses on the unique inner and outer resources and the creative potential each individual owns, inviting young people into deep processes of self-knowing, healthy development and contribution to the community. The concept, rooted in the wisdom of nature and in the latest discoveries of psychology, offers a radical and sustainable healing and a map for understand behavioral patterns. Above all, it offers a promising invitation for sustainable and healthy transformation from youth to adulthood, from the self to the world.
The educational materials developed through this project are:
