Imagining Common Futures

Imagining Common Futures is an international KA153 training course for youth workers, educators and community facilitators, hosted in the rural community of Sieso de Jaca (Spain). The project offers a hands-on learning experience focused on ecosocial transition, community life and regenerative practices. Through non-formal education, collective reflection and learning-by-doing, participants explore how narratives, governance, emotional skills and territory-based practices can support social cohesion and ecological responsibility.

The course combines practical activities (agroecology, bioconstruction, communal work) with facilitated spaces on group processes, emotional awareness, conflict resolution, horizontal leadership and democratic participation. Living and working together in a depopulated rural context allows participants to experience alternative ways of organizing life, production and care, while critically reflecting on dominant socio-economic models.

The project aims to strengthen participants’ capacity to imagine, articulate and enact common futures in their own contexts, equipping them with transferable tools for youth work, community development and ecosocial action across Europe.
