Why a Methodological Guide?

The “Idea(l)s in Action” project was born in 2016 at a time where we, the partners, were going through hardships (financial, organizational…). We were looking for ways to bring sustainable ways of living to light, as well as methods to support people in their efforts to take action (allowing them to believe in their abilities and to be the change they hope for themselves and for the society they belong to) 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 may enable us to give shape to our wishes. From our efforts emerged a 22-months-long project based on learning-by-doing and travelling, whose main objective was to develop and spread the “Heterotopia Tour”, as a pedagogical tool to expand awareness and effectiveness towards the change we would like to activate within the realities that surrounds us.

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 the spirit of a Heterotopia Tour, to resume the main topics if deals with (community living, ecological awareness, social innovation) and provide practical information, tools and tips to make it happen.

Our intention was to clarify the process and the practical requirements of a Heterotopia Tour, so that other organisations 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.

May this tool inspire you as it inspired us, and contribute to empower people, collectives and organizations towards a more sustainable and inclusive society.

Wish you a nice discovering and a successful implementation,

The “Idea(l)s in Action” team
