ABOUT INSTITUTO LIVMUNDI (LIVMUNDI INSTITUTE)
Since 2016, LivMundi has democratized the socio-environmental agenda through simple and accessible language designed to raise awareness as to the urgency needed for individual and collective behavioral changes. We show ways for reconnecting human beings to nature through educational initiatives, such as learning journeys, festivals, joint efforts, and workshops. To engage more people in the awakening of socio-environmental awareness, we founded the LivMundi Institute in 2022.
The LivMundi Institute is a way to expand our work with a focus on education for socio-environmental transformation. We want to awaken the best version of each person through non-formal learning processes where we approach issues concerning how our choices affect our lives and the future of the next generations in a purposeful manner.
Our focus is on broadening transformation movements that transgress the inadequate ways of being that see us as totally apart from nature. All our initiatives aim to help awaken socio-environmental awareness in face of the challenges of this decade – considered the most important for the healthy survival of Earth’s living systems, whether human or non-human.
EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT
WE LEARNED TO LIVE IN A WORLD THAT NO LONGER EXISTS.
Awakening socio-environmental awareness is not a simple task because we are way too used to not only behavioral patterns shaped throughout our lives but also habits and beliefs that largely disconnect us from nature.
This is precisely why transformative learning processes are fundamental for other ways of living to emerge. We believe that any social change needs to be tied to profound changes in our educational systems – especially in the ways we teach and learn things.
Considering such context, we intend to offer different initiatives created especially for women and young people, as well as educators, based on five fundamental pillars: systemic approach, territories of belonging, participatory culture, technology, and network; all with a view to reconnecting human beings and nature.
