+====== Why a Methodological Guide? ======
-Intro
+The “//Idea(l)s in Action//” project was born in 2016 when we, the partners, were seeking ways to draw attention on existing **sustainable lifestyles** and figuring out methods to support people in their efforts to **take action** while making a living in a way that fits their values.
-We believe in learning by doing, travelling to expand awareness and efectiveness towards the Change we would like to activate within the realities that surrounds us.
+Guided by our past experiences and heartened by the trust we had in each other, we designed together a project that would enable us to turn our wishes into realities. From our collective efforts, a 22-months-long project emerged, whose main objective was to **develop and spread the "Heterotopia Tour"** - a **pedagogical tool**  based on traveling and community living that we have been developing since 2013 in South-West France - in order to **empower people** and **foster social change**.
-In the process of acomplishment of this M.G, we were inspired by the deep need to reflect on how a Heterotopia Tour making of process is and on the know how that it demands to implement it, in the diferent countries realities and learning from each experience to improve the next.
+Together, we designed and implemented 4 Heterotopia Tours within a year: 1 in France, 1 in Greece, 1 in Italy (Sicily) and 1 in Portugal. Each Tour was an opportunity to lead a **practical research** on the Tour while expanding **awareness about** and **participation in** the changes we would like to witness around us.
-Our intention was to clarify this colective co-creation process as a common useful tool that can inspire more people and contribute to help individuals, colectives and organizations to co*create similar or not projects, personal change evolving to colective change.
+This Methodological Guide was born out of our will to share the **making of a "Heterotopia Tour"** and offer an **overview of the know-how required** to design it. We tried our best to share its **spirit**, to sum up the **main topics** it deals with (community living, ecological awareness, social innovation) and provide **practical information, tools and tips** to make it happen.
+{{ :guide:20180924_135202.jpg?direct&200|}}
-comunity living - ecological awareness - social inovation are the big topics that are developped in
+Our intention was to **clarify the process** and the **practical requirements** of a Heterotopia Tour, so that other organizations are able to set it up. We did our best to take a variety of contexts, approaches and preferred way of doing into consideration, so we could extract a **pedagogical method** from our specific experiences, that would be suitable for most situations.
-Radical Flexibility, brutal honesty, less is More are key words that are transversal to all the projects implemented and nourishes our.Colective co-creation and tapping into colective inteligence
-Being Present ! Artful Participation! Sharing is Caring! Caring is Sharing! Zoom In Zoom Out!
+May this tool inspire you as it has inspired us, and contribute to **empower** people, communities and organizations towards a more sustainable and inclusive society.
-Emotional inteligence within the group dynamics of a good comunication & information flow, giving & sharing to deepen the adressing to diferent needs & feelings & everyone feels satisfied, listen & with space to express themselves.
