The Kolamba Yathra is an actively engaged walking journey around the city of Colombo – the commercial capital of Sri Lanka. ECO-V is the organisation coordinating the journey, and has been conducting Yathras since 2011 to raise awareness, that leads to action and behavioral change, on climate change issues among the general public. It also serves to catalyze and support the creation of green youth leaders. The youth who are taking part in Yathras gain exposure to ‘green activities,’ serving as a gateway to personal and community behavioral change, while preparing the ground to become green youth leaders. After participating in the Yathra, these engaged youth will have an opportunity to conduct their own ‘green project’ to combat climate change within their own communities, through the facilitation and support of ECO-V. This year, ECO-V will be conducting our 3rd Yathra,“The Kolamba Yathra: An Interfaith Journey for Sustainability,” as a one-day program with at least 100 youth of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds. The main objective of this Yathra is to raise awareness of climate change issues across the Colombo public, to engage religious and political leadership on climate change action, and most particularly to engage youth in modeling and action for eco-friendly, sustainable methods, climate change education and adaptation/mitigation and biodiversity restoration and conservation efforts. It is intended as well to support the global event, the “People’s Pilgrimage” which is gathering a global ‘critical mass’ of grassroots and spiritual leaders in an interlinked global ‘climate Yathra’ or pilgrimage, collecting climate stories, and gathering local voices and messaging to bring to the global leaders at the pinnacle inter-governmental climate talks, COP 21, in Paris this November and December 2015. This is done in concert with the Pan-Asian ICE Network, the African ‘We Have Faith’ climate caravan, and the Our Voices platform. Kolamba Yathra will

Comment les cercles peuvent-ils nous aider à libérer notre parole et à nous sentir écoutés ? Avec Maria Ochoa et Jérôme Capoën Nous vous invitons à vivre et à découvrir la puissance du cercle en les mettant en pratique. Dans les différentes sphères de notre vie, nous sommes amené.e.s à communiquer, échanger, partager avec ceux qui nous entourent. Les cercles nous mettent en position d’équivalence, ils réveillent en nous une qualité de parole et d’écoute. Ils nous ouvrent à une sagesse collective. Notre ambition pour cet atelier est de : – Transmettre les fondamentaux du Cercle – Découvrir les différents rôles (scribe, gardien du temps…) – Vous faire vivre leur diversité (débat, écoute, à deux…) – Passer un temps de rencontre et de convivialité Cet atelier est ouvert à toute personne curieuse de pouvoir utiliser cet outil dans un cadre familial, amical, associatif et/ou professionnel. Les sujets abordés seront choisis ensemble.
