In collaboration with festival far° fabrique des arts vivants Nyon, HEAD – Genève has asked Maria Lucia Cruz Correia to work with students on a project. Common Dreams: Moving Away Together follows from a workshop run in February. Between fiction and reality, the project focuses on long-term research on education about the future, much like an alternative school to outline strategies to counter climate change. The topics discussed focus on the common good, healthcare, hope and time and will address what unites us and how to teach survival. For the edition 2020 of the festival far° Communs singuliers#1, the school has adopted a nomadic form, settling in a forest and on the shores of Lake Geneva. For five days the students unfold a programme, which includes several collective activities such as planting, singing, reading, eating, discussing, contemplating, snorkelling or rebelling… Every day a guest also shares his or her knowledge (of biology, economy, astrology…) and opens discussions on topics relating to the ecological transition. In response to the burning issues of our times, Common Dreams: Moving Away Together offers space and time to explore our capacity to act, to think together and maybe develop common dreams.
