“SustainABILIY: sustainable management of selforganised youth collectives”
Brandenburg, Germany
22 – 30 November, 2015
Background of the project
The idea to organise a training course came from the need of sharing the common urge to look for places where the daily meaning of activities is visible, the work is more than an a forced activity, the organisation’s work is coherent with its values, there is a place for own reflection, feedback and ideas, the decisions are transparent and collective, everyone can affiliate with the goals of the organisation.
As there was not such a place for us in the established structures, thougth Kulturlabor Trial&Error decided to explore how the terms „work“ and „money“ correlates in our society, what place in the so called job market the young people have, how to reach a sustainable impact, respect the environment and people around as well as how to work in a horizontal and inclusive structure, giving each team member an equal chance to become an initiator, what kind of tools are to maintain an organization effectively and sustain it both financially and resources-wise.
Training course objectives:
- to reflect on organisational structures, working methods and to exchange experience with likeminded people through sharing the knowledge of self-organisation
- to experiment ways of managing a collective, including such topics as decision making process, coherence of values, leadership styles, team dynamics to activate a entrepreneurial spirit
- to integrate methods from the field of creative activism in the training process and stimulate creativity
- to evaluate organisation’s working approaches towards dealing with target groups/community, reconsider internal and external values and learn about ways to sustainably develop a collective.
