 ====== Why a Methodological Guide? ====== ====== 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** 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 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.+{{:​guide:​p1070348.jpg?​direct&​230 |}}
  
-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+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"​** - **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**.  
  
-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.+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.
  
-May this tool inspire you as it inspired ​us, and contribute to **empower** people, ​collectives ​and organizations towards a more sustainable and inclusive society.+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.
