Erasmus+ T.C."RESPROUT OUR ROOTS: More-than-human and Imagination" in France (Funded)

An open call for 26 participants from across Europe to join the Erasmus+ training course "Erasmus+ TC "RESPROUT OUR ROOTS: More-than-human and Imagination" which takes place in Piegros-la-Clastre, France, from 5-16 October 2026. This training course is organised by the "La Rapugada" association and co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.

About the training course

This TC will be a laboratory where all participants will examine their relationship with what is often called “nature” and explore the possibility of resprouting our roots thanks to imagination, reflection, non-formal tools, research on rituals, and artistic practices.

Organisers use the term "more than human" rather than "nature" in order to reopen the ways of understanding our surroundings and lean on this opening to collectively imagine new ways of doing, experiencing, and thinking about what surrounds us, and through this, envision alternative futures together.

We will cross various mediums, including writing, non-formal tools, theatrical improvisation, meditation, guided walks, shared experiences, and theoretical reflection. We will work on our ancestral rituals, knowledge, and customs.
