[ecrea] Applications open: Eroles Project: Community of Practice: What practices and narratives do we need to peacefully co-create cultures?

*CALL OUT to join an Eroles Project COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE*
Reflecting and exchanging around the question:

What practices and narratives do we need to peacefully co-create cultures?

Perugia, Italy 16th - 31st March 2017

***

This emergent 15 day Community of Practice will take place in a rural 
house in the province of Perugia, Italy, giving the intimate context for 
9 participants with diverse backgrounds to exchange understandings from 
their work, research or practice that concern the co-creation of present 
day cultures & communities.

The content and flow of the days will be designed by participants along 
with Ruth Cross (Eroles Project) including getting to know each other & 
the space, sharing practices, participatory sessions, participant led 
sessions, time for walking, playing, gardening, house work, meditation, 
cooking, bodyworks and documentation.

Why this, why you and why now?

In an age of uncertainty we are witnessing the power of narrative to 
galvanize collective responses to the challenges of our time. Divisive 
narratives have amplified fear of the other and permitted systemic 
racism at all levels of society. Yet simultaneously we see robust 
responses with Indigenous lands being celebrated and defended by people 
of many cultures, new waves of on/offline collaboration, experiments in 
degrowth and movements of radical friendship between newcomers and locals.

We urgently need to create new narratives that celebrate such cross 
cultural responses, that speak to our commonalities rather than our 
differences, that spark hope and that harness our collective assets.

This CoP asks can we share human and nonhuman lives on our earth whilst 
being with our collective past, present and unknown future? What 
energising practices and new narratives do we need to support the 
emergence of peaceful and integrated cultures, which have capacity to 
generate meaningful and effective responses?


One aim is to visualise the activities, thinking and practice from this 
exchange into a booklet, film or new media to share approaches of 
plurality, intersectionality, cultural diversity, and the yet undiscovered.


KEYWORDS: radically thinking as a species,  plurality,  identity, 
intersectionality,  systemic change, complexity, co-creation of culture, 
 acceptance, radical friendship,  decolonisation, non duality, 
response-ability, creativity, collaboration, collective joy, new 
economics, participatory politics, inner listening, new narratives, 
co-creation
