Improve Your Relationship With Yourself, With Others and With The World

AlmaMundi's aim is to help people improve their relationship with themselves, with others and with the world. To carry out this project would allow AlmaMundi to help youth to improve their relationship with themselves and the world. In our current education system we are not taught how to deal with emotions, how to communicate effectively in a non violent way and how to care for our planet. The objectives of this project is to assist young people in learning skills to improve their relationship with the;selves, with others and with the world.

Objectives
AlmaMundi holds retreats that are focussed on improving participant's relationship with themselves, others and the world.
In order to have a better relationship with oneself, one needs to learn how to deal with emotions and generate a kinder and more effective inner dialogue.
In order to improve ones relationship with others, one needs to learn to work with ones own emotions and communicate them in a kind, effective and non offensive way.
In order to improve ones relationship with this world, one needs to learn how to feel connected to nature, we need to learn how to love nature which will naturally lead to wanting to care for nature. Once we see the importance of caring for our planet we will more easily absorb information and techniques about how to effectively do so.

Link to objectives of Erasmus + programme
If we heighten the emotional awareness and understanding of young people it will naturally improve their understanding of their fellow human beings. If we also improve their skills in communicating their needs, wishes, feelings and boundaries that will undoubtably improve their integration and participation in society in Europe. To be an active citizen means to love your life, be aware of what values matter to you in life and give enthusiasm for living out those values.
If we don't know what is valuable to use in life, it is very difficult for us to show any enthusiasm in day to day life. Therefore becoming more aware of our internal world, of our needs and the needs of this planet will naturally develop a more active role in society, meeting the objective of the Erasmus + of active citizenship.
A greater sensitivity to our own self, to others and to the world we live in will generate a greater kindness and openness towards other cultures. This combined with better communication skills will meet the objective of intercultural dialogue and social inclusion and solidarity.

Issues and needs addressed
Young people often lack appropriate communication skills and the knowing how to work with their emotions and therefore often get stuck a cycle of conflicting emotions and confusion which can lead to frustration, aggression and other emotional imbalances like depression, low moods, lack of interest, lack of inspiration. As emotional awareness and non violent communication are not part of the main stream education system we believe their is a need for young people to improve their communication skills and emotional awareness. In addition to that our planet is facing some challenges and we believe there is a need to generate some awareness and understanding of these challenges and some possibilities of how we could start addressing them.
