What is “CO”?

CO is the beginning of multiple words that are pointing to come together; COllective, COmmunity, COllaboration, COmmunication, COnnection, COoperation… Those words appeared in my last IKIGAI and I felt called to share it with all of you.

Why?

CO emerges as a will to reformulate, re-organise and continue expanding the learnings and experiences I had during my self-guided learning experience. With the intention to explore connectivity, exploring online communication in between organisations, projects and persons that are leading to similar objectives. Raise awareness and transform the way we relate to ourselves, others and the world to a more meaningful and regenerative way.

Aiming to build a network and compile different voices and approaches to social transition.

How?

CO is divided into 4 different topics;

  1. Personal development

2. Communication

3. Social Architecture

4. Education

Every month we will be exploring “The topic of the month”. Then, the proposal is to start an interactive journey where we cohabit this space of self-guided non-formal learning.

What?

Listen: We will have some inspirational audio-activities on our podcasts such as reflections and thoughts; interviews with non-formal educators and change agents; Guided meditations, challenges and personal development exercises. Just plug in your headphones and enjoy what we will be cooking for you!

Read: Also, some written articles to cover valuable theories, methodologies and answers to questions, as well as reflections and thoughts.

Where?
