Participants of the Youth Initiative Program (YIP) in Ytterjärna, Sweden, are holding a space for the growing international community to meet with this inspiring local community in action, this June 15-20. These 5 days of summer celebrations will be all about thinking globally and acting locally. It is hosted at YIP, in the beautiful and natural home of this inspired new form of education, which is effectively providing a platform for the empowerment of youth initiative.
With this area being known for its innovative culture of sustainability and community living, the opportunity is to co-create an event whereby both spheres of community can engage in grounded action through consciously designed and meaningful learning spaces and activities, in celebration of this One Year of Making Sense.
This is a festival of learning, a new form of meeting that allows you to share in the essence of YIP and its network, and really meet your hosts – 38 emerging change-makers who embody a unique quality of youth empowerment. Being immersed in an intensive training of how to make positive social change in the world, they are inspired to share their learning with you, and to open the space of Sense Festival to your dreams and aspirations.
We aim to provide you with a powerful source of connection and celebration this summer.
The PURPOSE of Sense Festival is:
to inspire you towards a new cultural movement, where diversity, wholeness, consciousness and empowerment come alive in community.
The OPPORTUNITY of Sense Festival is:
to connect and engage with you in a collaborative learning environment, providing inspiration and encouragement through collective community action.
