​​​​​

So, are you ready to let your next island journey reveal how we might sustain our wellbeing, living a balanced life by being mindful of our health, environments, and communities? Now, imagine...

It's time to talk about self-sustainability

Dedicated to promoting wellbeing literacy worldwide, our team provides quality experiential learning experiences with and by curious people like you. 

​

Self-sustained wellbeing is about living in a way that allows us and our communities to thrive independently. It means maintaining good health, protecting the environment, and building strong social connections. It's also about valuing and preserving cultural heritage and connections across human diversity.

​

In its essence, self-sustained wellbeing is about achieving a balanced and fulfilling life by being mindful of our health, the environment, and our community, all while staying true to our cultural roots and being curious about others'.​ With this in mind, we explore the vital aspects of wellbeing to better understand that the journeys of wellbeing can be complex and challenging.

Essentials

What things would you take from an island?

Ever got the question about what three things you would bring to an island? During the Islander Literacy, we learn directly from local residents and share our own experiences, creating a rich exchange of knowledge. That's why the question most important to us is: What will you bring back from the island?

​

Here are our suggestions
 

  • Discoveries of how islanders thrive with available resources and innovative practices.

  • Experience and skills to promote self-sustainability, environmental care, and community wellbeing.

  • Unique experiences of traditions and cultural practices that enrich your global perspective.

  • Hands-on learning from workshops led by field experts.

  • Personal skills to help you tackle local challenges and strengthen communities.

  • Boost in teamwork, leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills.

  • Connections with new friends and peers, feeling part of a supportive community with likeminded learners.

The journey

Explore and create our island community

Imagine yourself on an island where the sea whispers old tales, and communities are bonded by shared traditions and wisdom. For 30 days, you'll join a group of likeminded individuals on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

 

Throughout the Islander Literacy journey, you'll exchange skills, celebrate cultural heritage, and empower communities, all while discovering how to live more harmoniously with nature. It will be up to you to bring your unique insights and skills to shape this journey for yourself and your peers.

​

Here's how you'll contribute
 

  • Get fully involved in all activities, workshops, and local projects.

  • Share your skills and insights with others.

  • Work together with peers and the local community.

  • Discover and be curious about local traditions, ask questions, show respect, and be open to learn from others.

  • Aim to make a positive impact through your actions, both during and after the programme.

​

Remember. It's not just another trip like your previous vacation or exchange. This is your opportunity to dive into sustainable living, build self-resilience, and form deep connections.
