What we do

We would like to introduce ourselves! We are Youssef, 27 yrs and Andrea, 29 Yrs old.
We from Italy and we are two simple and positive people, we love being with other people.
We would like to contribute to improve this beautiful planet of ours. we create an eco blog named HelloEco(ecoarganblog.wordpress.com). We talk about our passions like biking and personal and spiritual growth, like PNL, meditations, Astrology and others awsome threads.
Youssef is from Morocco and loves introspective knowledge, practices meditation and reads books for personal and spiritual growth. Andrea is an Italian, who loves freedom and challenges. He brings his body to the limit visiting desolate places, like climbing mount Everest.
What do we do:
We love freedom, that’s why we want to valorize this value. Our imagination and our passion for the sports gave us the idea of opening an import-export company in a very special way: we will start from Italy and will arrive in Morocco by bikes. Once we reach the destination we will create the company! The journey is long 3440 km from Milan to Tamanar, in the province of Essaouira. We are aware of the risks we take, but we believe in the greatness of our purpose and our mission we are certainly that we will reach the finish line.
Passion and Freedom:
We determined to do the trip because biking is our passion and we would like to show it to everyone. We believe in individual freedom.
This would be an experience which will show that while working we can have fun! We hope our beliefs would touch the people’s hearts in the four states that we will cross and everywhere.
Our idea is to show people that there is a different world from what they know, and we believe that there are a lot of people who are working to improve it.
Share and Unity:
We want to share our experience with others to show that everyone creates their own reality. We will meet a lot of people from different cultures and I'm sure they have a lot of things to teach us. Our purpose is to create connection between ours and their culture. Then we would give everybody the opportunity to join us in the journey. Everyone is free to come and join the ride.
Eco-sustainability and Solidarity:
We will deal natural and organic products such as pure 100% argan oil cosmetics, argan soap, argan shampoo, pure 100% fenugreek oil and pure 100% aknari oil. Our purpose is to create a sustainable and ecological company, where people would be happy to work together. We all know how global warning increased caused by human activities or increasing greenhouse gases. It has destroyed the ecosystem, that’s why we would like to distribute natural products and use renewable energy with zero environmental impact. In addition we will create jobs for the poor households in Morocco. Also to help with the struggle of the Berber women for emancipation.
We need to be founded from the people because the company is oriented to our beautiful world. Funds are oriented to do the trip and open the company. We appreciate you being part of that project and contributing to it. Every donation is welcome.

Thank you very much!

Festival en familia

Este año queríamos darle un toque diferente a nuestras jornadas de educación. Pensamos que encuentros centrados principalmente en un intercambio de información para adultos hay muchos, por lo que en esta ocasión pretendemos darle mucha importancia a nuestr@s hij@s. Queremos que vengan niñ@s de todas las edades por eso la inscripción hasta los 16 años es gratuita para ell@s; así que nos hemos puesto manos a la obra para crear un campamento familiar donde podamos disfrutar de realizar actividades creativas juanto a nuestr@s hij@s y en un entorno natural inigualable, todo ello sin dejar de lado la estructura de encuentro como la de años anteriores donde invitaremos a colectivos y profesionales para que compartan sus experiencias y visiones con nosotros. Tendremos una comida sana y casera (avisad vegetarianos, veganos, alérgicos…) durante vuestra estancia y el alojamiento sera en una amplia zona de acampada donde podréis montar vuestras tiendas, allí conviviremos durante 5 días. Traed vuestros cubiertos, platos y vasos por favor, a nosotr@s nos es de gran ayuda en los eventos en los que hay que atender a mucha gente. La Recepcion de l@s participantes comenzara el día 5 de julio a partir de las 16:00 ( no pasa nada si llegáis un poco antes) y el evento finaliza tras la comida del día 10 de Julio. Iremos colgando las novedades sobre el festival en nuestro blog para teneros informad@s. ¡¡ Nos vemos pronto en el valle!! Organizador km28 Email: co******@**28.org

La facilitación

La vida en común en diferentes áreas; El trabajo en colectivo en grupos, empresas o cooperativas; La toma de decisiones compartidas, son expresiones de la realidad social que somos. Liderar es asumir la tarea de cuidar los espacios de cooperación y colaboración entre las personas (entre otras formas verlo). Nuestra cultura, no nos ofrece referencias claras o sólidas para estas labores. Los procesos participativos pueden pasar de ser la expresión de nuestros principios y valores mas queridos, a convertirse en una especie de tragicomedia… o algo peor. La facilitación nos permite prestar atención a los procesos y disponer de medios para afinar nuestra realidad, tanto en el foco de la eficiencia e inteligencia del colectivo; como en el cuidado de las personas. Entendemos que uno de los espacios mas conflictivos es la estructura, más que nada porque en muchos colectivos sencillamente no la creamos. Así mismo, “olvidamos” atender al poder y a los liderazgos necesarios. En esta formación vamos a adentrarnos en los aspectos de estas dificultades con el objetivo de clarificar, explorar, darnos las herramientas útiles, investigar los caminos posibles. A QUIEN VA DIRIGIDA: Esta formación esta diseñada para personas que viven y/o trabajan en colectivos, y a quienes tienen en proyecto hacerlo. Esta encaminada a lograr una comprensión global de los procesos que se desarrollan en un grupo en las áreas de poder y liderazgo. Así como de los procesos y dinámicas que pueden facilitar la toma de decisiones, la comunicación, la organización de la información…para lograr una participación cada vez mayor de las personas como garantía del concepto “compartir el poder, sin diluirlo ni perderlo” QUIEN LA IMPARTE: Mabel Cañada: Facilitadora, 33 años de experiencia en Comunidad. Mauge Cañada. Psicóloga, Mediación en conflictos. Sociocracia. Contacto: la******@***il.com tfno:948392002 preguntar por Mabel.
