What is happiness when it comes to communicate? Is it possible to experience a kind of connection between each others that we can define "happiness"? 

Are we happier when people do and act the way we pretend to or when we are able to connect to their human needs? Have we ever experienced such a connection?

In our workshop together we will live an inspiring exploration in the field of Empathic Communication, like learning a new language that allows us to express what we matter in ways that have more chance of being received. And even before that we'll explore how to LISTEN in an empathic way, as happiness has no space without deeply and truly listening to each others.

 

Values: Everything is beautiful and I’m not Afraid

Luisa Pellegrino

In this workshop, we will explore our wishes and fears, list the words which define us and which contribute to the building up of our own identity. How can we describe the borders between personal and social? How do our individualities contribute to shaping our social body? Most of the times, our wishes and fears are influenced by the contest in which we live in. Drawing from the comic book Everything is Beautiful and I’m not afraid by Yao Xiao, a queer cartoonist and illustrator living in New York, we will play with words and images in order to create a manifesto of our wishes and a bingo of our fears.
