I live in a forest, with my small family, creating a beautiful space where I can connect, reconnect, unite with nature, and heal.

For me, this project started many years ago, with the first project I created and coordinated on my own. In it, Eva and Julia were participants, Manuela was the trainer, and I was gestating my first child in his last months before birth.

From that project, "Sustainability On Stage" was born, where I mentored Eva and Julia, among other people. A beautiful project, in the place where I learned so much.

And from that Youth Exchange, this new journey was born, now, in my new home, and in the last months of gestation of my second child.

Thank you for being part of this dream, which has so much love in it.

I'm Julia, one of the trainers of this course. Nice to meet you here! :)

I'm from Germany but based in Barcelona where I love to take care of my garden. I work as a language coach and (youth) trainer and am active in Erasmus+ projects since 2018. I have collaborated with different NGOs on the topics of sustainable development, peacebuilding and volunteerism. Currently, I love creating projects that combine nature connection, community building and social theatre. That's why I like this project so much! I am also into hiking and climbing, and I really love looking at maps and making plans for upcoming excursions and trips!

Can't way to meet you soon!

I am Eva, a student of life currently living and working in a community in the south of Serbia with my lovely family of 3. Since 2014 I have been traveling the world, learning about community building, natural building, and permaculture, now I am trying to put all of my experience into practice while settling down.

I met Maria Luisa at my first youth exchange and got hooked so much that I founded an NGO Zeleno Doba - Center for Sustainable Growth and Development in 2018 with some friends. Ever since I have been writing, managing, and facilitating Eramsus+ projects - focusing on youth work and sustainable practices.

Sustainability on Stage is one of my favorite projects, I met Julia while doing my first online training course in theatre in youth work, where we decided to do a youth exchange with the same name... The rest of the story is still being written :D

I am looking forward to collaborating with all of you and enjoying this journey while making new connections.

I hope you will enjoy this journey with us!

I'm Manuela Gioia! With deep love to Nature, theatre, mother Hearth, people and all beings.

I lived in Colombia, Italy, Spain, ans now living in Sardinia, a little continent inside the continent, weaving performing arts and Nature, from the sensoriality and the somatic practices💚 my heart-job since 24 years.

Aiming to live in an Ecological Community, into a round shape house.

I can't wait to see you all and dive into the dimentions of sustainability with our bodies, using the Sensorial Theatre as a way to find connections and co-creation into and with Nature and with our colleagues and friends.

I'm a very spiritual person and believe that nature has a force over us, I could not imagine my life without art and nature but I struggle to mix them together, I'm here to find out how to mix the best of both worlds.

I'm very excited to meet and learn from all of you.

I'm Bogdan Panajotovski,

I'm a journalist by vocation, but I don't do that job. I grew up in a family of craftsmen, so I learned the processes of work, but also how to appreciate work.

I founded a small literary association in my place, a small NGO called Olovce (a small wooden pencil).

I am trying to implement the knowledge I gained in Belgrade by working in the NGO sector, in our small community

We try to improve the writing techniques of our members and help organize charity evenings. Previously, I worked as an editor for the high school portal of the Belgrade Open School, where I introduced many young people to the world of journalism. I've enjoyed working on the organization and press service of many film festivals in the country and the region. I have a dog, a german shepard, named after the comic strip by Spanish author Miguelanzo Prado, Ardalen (the wind that brings memories from South America to Europe). Also, I love comics and write a little, mostly short stories and travelogues for which I have been awarded. I'm currently working on a collection of short stories. I work for a company that provides technical assistance to banks.

Can't wait to meet you all in Asturias, the place closer to Eden I have ever met. I live here for two years, after a long period of visiting and working on my own in different countries. Now, settled down in a traditional house in a rural context, rising two new souls, one still in my belly, my partner and me are in the early phases of develop of some proyects, in sinergia with this place, its nature and people. I hope this Sustainability Course give all of us tools to connect ideas, grow concepts and find our best, to make this world a little bit better. Currently I work as a yoga teacher and I'm passionated about it: practicing with others, getting mind peaceful and stronger together makes me so connected and shining.

Omaid here.

I consider myself a curious learner, always eager to expand my knowledge.

Currently, I am an entrepreneur, selling alimentary products to Indian restaurants.

My passion for connecting with people naturally draws me to marketing and sales, as I believe that the right product can create meaningful human connections.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I love reading books and watching some of my favorite podcasts.

I’m also a bit of a gym rat, so I enjoy spending time at the gym and discovering new techniques to improve my workouts.

As the world continues to digitalize, I am constantly seeking to learn and grow in the digital realm.

I’m eagerly looking forward to meeting all of you in person! 🤗🤗

PS: In the comments, could you share the names of two of your favorite books and why you recommend them?

I really enjoy nature and hiking, actually, my best friend took this picture of me when we finished the Camino de Santiago.

I studied play writing and now I'm studying stage direction. For the last four years I've been also working as a director and a theater teacher. What I love most about theater is working with people and creating experiences that we can share to our communities in our way to preserve our selfs as a collective and not as an individual

I am a poet and I love new experiences, especially those in or about nature. I'm into making this world the best possible place for living and that is posibble only through learning about sustainability!

I recently moved to countryside where I currently live and work with bees and beehives.

I have always been very connected with nature and I am sensitive about topics as pollution, forests, oceans and animals life. I studied Biological Science at the university and I know how delicate and important is the balance between different ecosystem. I am very passionate about rewilding, reforesting, permaculture and bioconstruction and I could write a lot about my dreams in changing the world or at least trying improving it.

At the moment I am working in a b&b, also I am a pet sitter as I am passionate about animals too.

I can,t wait to know all of you.

I have a huge passion for literature, nature and sustainability.

I did theatre for about nine years.

I just finished studying therapeutic massages, and right now im studying naturotherapy and medicinal plants and how to use them.

I really cant wait to meet all of you beautiful and unique people!

I hope I can meet wonderful people, beautiful places and interesting projects during these next few months, and I'm excited to start with theater in Spain! I've been doing theater workshops for the last few years, and I'm passionate about it! So I feel like this is just what I need! Can't wait to meet all of you!
