Call for Participants: Train-the-Trainer Workshop in Gorca

Bridge 47 and Gorca EarthCARE invite you to a unique and intense 5 day transformative training for GCE (Global Citizenship Education) multipliers in Gorca, Slovenia from August 4-9. The program is hosted by Professor Vanessa Andreotti, Dr. Rene Su¹a and others at Gorca EarthCARE. Wewill challenge the roles and educational concepts that Civil Society Organisations use for systemic change. Ultimately, we will face our own complicity in systemic harm.

 

We will examine how our current global problems are not related to a lack of knowledge but to an inherently violent modern-colonial way of being. This way of being is difficult to deconstruct because it represents the “normal” way that we inhabit and relate to the world. We will explore the three major constitutive denials that drive this violent, “normal” way of being; denial of systemic violence and complicity in harm, denial of the limits of the planet and the denial of our inevitable entanglement in the whole living metabolism.

 

This training isn’t meant to be easy to palate candy. It’s more like the broccoli seeds that you plant and tend to over time in order to cultivate something of value. We won’t offer any quick fixes, but you will leave with a lot to think about and hopefully grow from.

 

Participants will stay in their own tents and share responsibility for cooking and cleaning together. This communal living aspect is an important part of the immersive experience that makes this training special.


If you’re ready to seriously challenge yourself and your assumptions about the world, then this program is for you. If you are interested, please apply by June 16th. Learn more and apply here
