Results, benefits, impact and lessons learnt
The project arose out of the need for female activists and artists who work with the community to create a safe space where it is possible to support each other, share practices, discuss topics that are troubling activists, and through co-creation achieve support and empowerment of women who work with the community and strive to improve social circumstances by sacrificing private time and strength for the benefit of society. Living and working in precarious conditions, this is an opportunity to rest, recharge batteries and connect during the seven-day program. The impressions and feedback of the previous participants are positive, the program is necessary, the power of the community is healing, it is challenging to influence the dynamics of the group, and a space is opened in which you need to listen and feel the group.
