A series of experiential capacity-building workshops for adults, designed and delivered by Fotoessa. Each one adds a distinct educational dimension — from storytelling and the bond between people and place, to collective memory, collaboration and resilience in citizen groups.
The project’s first educational action: active citizens shared how their initiatives were born and evolved, turning personal stories into shared knowledge and a stronger sense of community.
Explore: Sharing Stories from Our BeachesUsing narrative inquiry, participants explored how specific beaches have shaped their lives and identities — and why the places we love become the places we want to protect.
Explore: Beaches as Landmarks of Our LivesWhat is worth carrying from the beaches of yesterday to the beaches of tomorrow? Participants moved from shared memories to a common vision for the coast.
Explore: Beaches: From Collective Memory to a Shared VisionFor a local group in formation: what each person wants, can offer and fears — and how differences become a shared way of working built on trust.
Explore: Collaboration Tools for ActivistsBurnout, conflict, boundaries and feedback: through role play and reflection, participants explored what exhausts a group, what makes it resilient — and one small, feasible next step.
