🌿🇫🇷 Erasmus+ Training Course in France “Rooting – Dance, Nature and Collective Creation to Address Eco-Anxiety” 🇫🇷🌿

🌍 About the Training

Rooting is an immersive Erasmus+ training course in France designed for youth workers, social actors, artists and creative facilitators who want to support young people facing eco-anxiety, environmental disconnection and feelings of powerlessness.

The training combines movement, dance, collective creativity and nature-based learning to help participants reconnect with themselves, their communities and the natural world.

Participants will experience a transformative process of co-creation, reflection and artistic expression, while developing tools they can later apply in their youth work practice.

Rooting also functions as a creative residency, where participants collaborate to produce a site-specific artistic performance presented to the local community.
