Agenda

The goal of this Spring School is to explore the Environmental Humanities as a regenerative process, bearing significant potential for healing the self, our communities, and social-ecological systems. Participants will be guided through a co-creative redefinition of EH ethics, practices and desirable goals, crystallizing such vision in the form of a co-designed charted of values.
They will be then given the possibility of exploring first hand the potential of such vision(s) to imagine and effect social-ecological regeneration, based on an archetypal example located in the Venetian Lagoon.
The format is co-creative, based on a Theory-U approach. T-U provides participants with a structured pathway to (a) unearth and enable their core motivations and emotional response(s) to the themes of the school; (b) crystallize shared visions; and (c) prototype ways to effect social ecological change. Besides providing a structured process for co-creation, this approach is helpful in strengthening participants’ self-efficacy, by reinforcing the connection between their heart, brain, and hands, as well as generating a sense of community. While we all know that these aspects are key to regeneration, they are often overlooked in academic settings. This school tries to make up (at least in part) for this deficiency.
