- | The “//Idea(l)s in Action//” project was born in 2016. Back then, we, the partners, were faced with difficulties (financial, organizational…). At the same time, we 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. | + | 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 took advantage from our past experiences and from the trust we had in each other to design together a project that would enable us to turn give shape to our wishes. From our collective efforts, a 22-months-long project emerged. Based on **learning-by-doing** and **traveling**, "Idea(l)s In Action" had for main objective to **develop and spread the "Heterotopia Tour"**, as a **pedagogical tool** to expand awareness and effectiveness to the change we would like to activate within the realities that surrounds us. | + | Guided by our past experiences and heartened the trust we had in each other, we designed together a project that would enable us to turn our wishes to 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 travelling and community living we were developing since 2013 in the South of France in order to **empower people** and **foster social change**. |
- | This Methodological Guide is born from our need to share the **making-of of a "Heterotopia Tour"** and to give an **overview on the know-how required** to implement it. We tried our best to share its **spirit**, to resume the **main topics** it deals with (community living, ecological awareness, social innovation) and provide **practical information, tools and tips** to make it happen. | + | 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 the opportunity to lead a practical research on the Tour while expanding awareness and effectiveness to the change we would like to activate within the realities that surrounds us. |

Our intention was to **clarify the process** and the **practical requirements** of a Heterotopia Tour, so that other organizations may use it. We took as much as possible into consideration various contexts, approaches and ways of doing to extract from our specific experiences a pedagogical method. | Our intention was to **clarify the process** and the **practical requirements** of a Heterotopia Tour, so that other organizations may use it.
