Our event space, the stunning Stagones eco camp

Nature Play is getting ready to become Europe’s first Agile Learning Community (ALC). We’re seeking to catalyse an Agile Learning ecosystem on North Evia by hosting ALF Summer Europe: the first ever Agile Learning Facilitators (ALF) training on the European continent.

We’re crowdfunding to make this unique opportunity accessible to everyone, and guess what? We need your help!

We need your pledges to help cover the training costs of small group of committed Agile Learning Facilitators, and…

We need your networks to help us attract the right applications for full and part scholarships.

If this could be you, or perhaps someone you know, then please apply today! Scholarships are now available for participation in our 9 day Agile Learning Facilitation training on Evia island in Greece from 28th July to 5th August 2017.

One of our applicants! Tina Lymberis, Permaculture Design teacher and NVC facilitator

Who’s behind this?

ALF Summer Europe is being co-produced by a diverse and global team!

  • Our lead Agile Learning Facilitator Eric Bear will convene a small team of fellow ALF’s all the way from the USA (via Cairo)!
  • Our scholars will be further supported by Liliana Carrillo — Agile Learning Facilitator, Certified Agile Project Manager, Scrum Master, Scrum Product Owner, Digital and Social entrepreneur, researcher of smart/agile cities and smart/agile communities at the University College of Artevelde (Ghent).
  • ALF Summer Europe is being coordinated by Marcus Letts of One Planet Productions, the project development agency dedicated to North Evia behind Origin Club, Transform Evia and Nature Play startup ventures.
  • And finally, this unprecedented European training will be hosted by Stagones eco camp; a natural building demonstration site and event space hidden within the unique surroundings of North Evia’s mountains, forests and beaches.

What we can offer:

  • Full participation in ALF Summer Europe, including:
  • 3 day ALC workshop
  • 5 day Nature Play ALC camp
  • 1 day closing + integration.
  • Wholesome food + drink for the full 9 days.
  • Campsite accommodation for the full 9 days (we can even supply tents if required) immersed in the stunning natural surroundings of Stagones eco camp.
One of our co-founders! Natalia, natural building architect and resident of Stagones

What you’ll need to contribute:

  • Flights + transfers (lift-shares are encouraged, and transfers available to and from our closest bus station on Evia).
  • An enthusiasm for Agile Learning / Innovative Education and a willingness to support the incubation of a Greek and European ALC network over the coming months + years, in whatever shape or form is co-created by our participants.

Applications are open for all European residents, though we’re in particular interested in supporting Greek nationals, whether parents or professionals, who’re unable to contribute the minimum course fee on our sliding scale of €360 but willing and able to help catalyse a Nature Play ALC on Evia Island.
