Manifesto

Adolescence is something that lives within all of us. We go from “BEING a teenager” to “BEING adolescent” somewhere in us, where he will live as long as we live.
What changes? The accumulation of experiences, which nourish the adolescent anxieties, the impetus and the aggressiveness, made us adolescents in practice. We, adults, understand a little of adolescence; we live youth, we live with adolescence. We are delighted, and we value this potent phase of our lives. That’s why the invitation. That is why this manifesto of ours is the voice of ours so that we can live adolescence and not wait for it to pass. To preserve for life what is powerful, creative, light, spontaneous and affectionate. We propose enhancing, harmonising, and helping to flourish in this beautiful human being, who begins to emerge into adulthood, the adolescence of which we are all part.

Indicated Age Range

What do we do?

teenagers

 

We provide creative, safe and welcoming encounters for teenagers who want to get to know each other, connect with other young people from different backgrounds and realities, to together co-create possibilities and achievements today and shortly.

What we are NOT

WE ARE NOT A SCHOOL OR ACADEMIC TRAINING COURSE!

We propose working with various themes and tools that help teenagers prepare for their lives based on activities related to being in the world, integrating thoughts, feelings and actions.

WE ARE NOT A SPACE WITH "CURRICULUM GRILLS," EITHER A "LOOSE" SPACE, FREE OF "AGENDA and PURPOSE."

We have a methodology based on axes and themes, which will guide us throughout the process. We are guided by principles and values, such as respect, friendship, inclusion and responsibility.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO “STANDARDIZE BEHAVIORS”, WE DON'T EXPECT YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE ALL EQUAL.

We believe that each individual is unique and powerful in their uniqueness and we value expressions linked to the essence and truth of each one.

“ME AND THE WORLD” invites participants to exchange among themselves, expand their perceptions based on inspirations from other participants, lectures, visits and special inspirational guests. It is time to look beyond yourself and accept the divergent expressions of the world.

“EU NO MUNDO”invites participants to exchange with each other, expand their perceptions based on inspirations from other participants, lectures, visits and inspirational special guests. It is time to look beyond yourself and accept the world’s divergent expressions and go further, to transform your discoveries and dreams into practical action, by “the Hand in the Mass.” Participants will have the challenge to complete this module by collectively materializing a project that comes out of the paper and becomes a reality!

Frequent Asked Questions

Can my 14-year-old son share stories and experiences with 17-year-old teenagers, the age difference being so big?
Can my 14-year-old son share stories and experiences with 17-year-old teenagers, the age difference being so big?
Today, this difference between teenagers is smaller and the stories are mixed, connecting through experiences that seem distant to adults’ eyes. The program coordinators are attentive to these moments. From our experience, we realized that the group itself, when formed, self-regulates in relationships, experiences and stories. Older teenagers share their steps with younger ones, respecting each other’s time. Also, educators are continually evaluating the process; when they perceive the need, they offer moments of conversation in subgroups divided by the proximity of age range.
Can brothers or cousins participate together?
Yes, we already experienced that. The project coordinators are attentive to these particularities and together with the adolescents and families, they analyse the possibility or not of close relatives to participate in the program. Likewise, educators will have a previous interview to feel if this is not an inconvenience for teenagers.
Can the difference, in reality, create a conflict for my child?
One of the principal axes of this program is to present these different realities to both sides. In the current world, this perception and reflection on social differences are fundamental for constructing a more just and promising future for our teenagers. The program coordinators are prepared to follow this path by guiding and placing the discussion in a legitimate and healthy place.
