Completing two years of intensive work on storytelling and collective healing from trauma, EU-CARES organized a full day focused on visual storytelling, stories, conflict, and future projects. The event, hosted at the European Youth Palermo Centre (EPYC), was attended by young people, professionals, youth workers and other actors in the field. This space, designed to be open to youth and responsive to their interests, accommodated most of the project’s activities, using the environment as a means to connect with a broader youth audience and amplify the impact of our work on narratives, storytelling, conflict, and reconciliation.

Thanks to the precious collaboration with Carlotta Magliocco, photographer and storyteller, and her space Kamera Photo Lab, we have presented the final materials of EU-CARES and invited participants to confront themselves with a photographic walk in the historical centre of Palermo, where Carlotta had attached QR codes telling the stories of people from the city.

The team that has been working on EU-CARES for about two years presented the results of the six-day workshop held at Kamera Photo Lab in May 2024, along with the Catalogue and the e-Toolkit. Participants to the event, mainly photographers, storytellers, and practitioners of narratives, were enthusiastic. The results of the project were appreciated both at the academic level, during the June Conference at the University of Palermo, and at the practical level, with the youth workers, the youth, and the visual storytellers that joined this last event.

Social enterprises and ecovillage experiences

Social enterprises and ecovillage experiences

Ecovillages and social enterprises promote sustainability through innovative practices that integrate environmental, social, cultural and economic regeneration. They face challenges related to adopting sustainable practices, but offer transferable models to foster more responsible development. These models are key to forming ecopreneurs, entrepreneurs capable of applying regenerative and sustainable approaches.
