Graphistes de l’Ombre

The association des Graphistes de l’Ombre (Association of shadow designers, European Network for a Responsible Communication) was created in 2006 in Marseille is an open participatory network made of training, communication and design professionals.

Our commitment to environmental issues also leads us to promote responsible communication, which for us means:

• Conscious, caring and attentive communication that respects the free will and cultural prisms of each individual.
• A communication of social utility, which is not solely for profit.
• Communication that works to preserve the environment.
• Communication promoting a sustainable and equitable society.

We explore the subject of authentic communication through verbal and non-verbal practices such as:

• The pedagogy of play.
• Sociocratic circles.
• Methods of collective intelligence, including the use of co-design, mental maps, writing workshops.
• Marshall Rosenberg’s NonViolent Communication®.
• Photolanguage® and sequential images.
• Intercultural pedagogy as promoted by the Franco-German Youth Office.

As well as any other psycho-physical approach, forum theatre, theatre of the invisible, art therapy, yoga, massage, body percussion, contact dance…

PETIT PAS APS

The social promotion association Petit Pas Aps was founded in Trani, Puglia (IT) in 2015, by a group of professionals, trainers and youth leaders motivated by the desire of improving their community, promoting social initiatives inspired by democracy, equality, and pluralism. Over the years, it has become a structured associative reality, with a large number of associates and volunteers who have embraced our mission by recognizing the importance of having inclusive, peaceful and just societies. Our goal is to enhance the level of knowledge and skills of our community regardless of gender, social background, cultural or educational background. Our aim is to equip the local and surrounding community with the right knowledge and skills that will enable them to access the labor market and increase their chances of progressing in the same. Through our workshops and seminars collaborate and support retirees to act as mentors for young people. We have carried out projects with disabled young people, giving them the opportunity to work as volunteers in our organization covering roles that could enhance their strengths. To achieve these goals, we are in contact with important universities, schools and associations. Our staff has many years of working experience, business and professional contacts with private and public organizations. The skills and knowledge learned by our staff thanks to the involvement of Petit Pas association in Erasmus + projects, in the experiences of intercultural dialogue, as well as in training courses and social volunteering, have also meant that the territory and organizations active in the social field, they came into contact with new realities and with different ways of conceiving Europe.
