\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOferim totes les nostres activitats des d\u2019un esperit de solidaritat i des del comprom\u00eds de lluitar contra la marginalitzaci\u00f3 i l\u2019exclusi\u00f3. El capitalisme i el consumisme condicionen fortament les nostres relacions amb les altres i amb el m\u00f3n. Redu\u00efts a productors o consumidors, se\u2019ns allunya d\u2019un comprom\u00eds m\u00e9s atent de cara a la resta. Les nostres relacions s\u00f3n intercedides per intercanvis i contractes financers. Mitjan\u00e7ant el projecte Ulex volem oferir un model alternatiu que fomenti unes relacions econ\u00f2miques que contribueixin a una cultura de la solidaritat cada vegada m\u00e9s profunda.\r\n\r\nNo volem iniciar una relaci\u00f3 amb tu com a prove\u00efdors d\u2019un servei per a un consumidor. Volem iniciar una relaci\u00f3 plena com a coproductores i col\u00b7laboradores de la transformaci\u00f3 de nosaltres mateixes i del nostre m\u00f3n.\r\n\r\nCreiem que la pr\u00e0ctica de la generositat m\u00fatua constitueix un ethos b\u00e0sic en el cor d\u2019una comunitat que dona valor a la vida. Compartir \u00e9s una forma b\u00e0sica de solidaritat. Aix\u00ed que, en comptes de mostrar la nostra tasca com un servei per comprar, el nostre objectiu \u00e9s oferir-la lliurement.\r\n\r\nLa base de l\u2019economia del regal en la qual ens movem, arrelada en la solidaritat i la generositat m\u00fatua, \u00e9s el vell principi \u201cdona all\u00f2 que puguis, pren all\u00f2 que necessitis\u201d.\r\n\r\nEn les descripcions dels nostres cursos incloem alguns suggeriments pel que fa a les contribucions. La tarifa mitjana reflecteix el cost b\u00e0sic real necessari perqu\u00e8 el curs sigui viable. El projecte \u00e9s dut a terme per una organitzaci\u00f3 sense \u00e0nim de lucre certificada, de manera que dep\u00e8n de nombroses formes de generositat i treball voluntari (que no estan inclosos en el c\u00e0lcul del \u201ccost real\u201d). No tenim cap mitj\u00e0 de finan\u00e7ament independent per a les nostres activitats. Per aquest motiu, necessitem recolzament econ\u00f2mic per tal que aquestes siguin viables. Si pots aportar m\u00e9s que la tarifa mitjana que suggerim, t\u2019agrairem que ho facis. Aix\u00f2 ajudar\u00e0 al desenvolupament de les activitats en curs i facilitar\u00e0 que altres persones amb menys recursos econ\u00f2mics puguin accedir a les nostres formacions.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nDe manera semblant, entenem que les teves circumst\u00e0ncies econ\u00f2miques poden implicar que la teva aportaci\u00f3 econ\u00f2mica sigui inferior; fins i tot, potser inexistent. Aix\u00f2 no hauria de ser un motiu perqu\u00e8 no assistissis als nostres cursos. Per a aquests casos, duem a terme una extensiva tasca de captaci\u00f3 de fons perqu\u00e8 les dificultats econ\u00f2miques o la marginalitzaci\u00f3 no siguin un obstacle per a participar en les nostres formacions.\r\n\r\nQuan la participaci\u00f3 rep el suport de subvencions i captacions de fons espec\u00edfiques, establim uns acords contractuals determinats amb les organitzacions per tal de canalitzar aquest finan\u00e7ament cap a la consecuci\u00f3 del nostre objectiu d\u2019oferir la nostra tasca de la manera m\u00e9s \u00e0mplia possible.\r\n\r\nEn qualsevol cas, t\u2019animem a mirar les contribucions suggerides i a entrar en l\u2019esperit de l\u2019economia solid\u00e0ria aportant la quantitat que puguis a fi que puguem facilitar, a tu i a d\u2019altres persones, que \u201cprengueu all\u00f2 que necessiteu\u201d. Tamb\u00e9 estem oberts a rebre donacions en forma d\u2019intercanvi d\u2019habilitats o altres ofertes de treball per a donar suport al projecte. Esperem trobar-nos amb tu en l\u2019esperit de la generositat m\u00fatua.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n* Pol\u00edtica de devoluci\u00f3:\u00a0Totes les donacions de persones individuals es consideren com a “donacions pures i senzilles” i, per tant, no reemborsables ja que de cap manera estan relacionades amb la prestaci\u00f3 de cap servei. En cas de cancel\u00b7laci\u00f3 o no assist\u00e8ncia per part d\u2019una organitzaci\u00f3 associada sotmesa a contracte o Memorandum Of Cooperation, la nostra pol\u00edtica \u00e9s que, tret que per culpa neglig\u00e8ncia o error per part nostra, les despeses del curs i els costos del curs residencial no s\u00f3n reemborsables.\u00a0Si un curs requereix reprogramaci\u00f3 per malaltia de l\u2019instructor o per circumst\u00e0ncies imprevistes que ens causin la cancel\u00b7laci\u00f3, farem tots els esfor\u00e7os possibles per reprogramar en una data m\u00fatuament acceptable.<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\nTamb\u00e9 pots donar suport a la nostra tasca mitjan\u00e7ant un pagament \u00fanic o una aportaci\u00f3 regular:\r\n

Transforming Community Through Mutual Generosity<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

All our events are offered in the spirit of solidarity and we\u2019re committed to challenging economic marginalisation and exclusion. Consumerism and capitalism strongly condition our relationship to each other and the world. Reduced to producers or consumers, we\u2019re insulated from more responsive engagement with each other. Our relationships become mediated by way of financial exchange and contracts. Through the Ulex project we want to offer an alternative model that supports economic relationships which contribute towards a culture of deepening solidarity.<\/p>

We do not want to enter into relationship with you as the providers of a service to a consumer. We want to enter into a wholehearted relationship as co-producers and collaborators in the transformation of ourselves and our world.<\/p>

We believe that the practice of mutual generosity constitutes a basic ethos at the heart of life affirming community. Sharing is a basic form of solidarity. So, instead of offering our work as a service to be bought, we aim to give our work freely.<\/p>

The basis of the gift economy we operate – rooted in solidarity and mutual generosity \u2013 is the old principle \u201cgive what you can, take what you need\u201d.<\/p>

In our course descriptions we include rates of suggested contribution.\u00a0 The middle rate reflects the basic real cost required to make the events viable. The project is run by a registered not-for-profit organisation. It depends on numerous forms of generosity and voluntary labour (which is not included in the \u2018real cost\u2019 calculation). We don\u2019t have any independent means of financing the events. We do need financial support to make the events viable. If you can offer more than the middle rate we suggest, then please do. This will help to support the on-going development of the work and enable others who are more economically marginalised to gain access to the work.<\/p>

Similarly, we appreciate that your financial circumstances might mean you can only give less financially \u2013 perhaps nothing at all. This should not stop you attending the courses. To support this we engage in extensive fundraising work so that economic difficulties or marginalisation are not an obstacle to attendance.<\/p>

Either way, please look at the suggested contributions and enter into the spirit of the solidarity economy by giving what you can, so that we can support you and others to take what you need. We are also open to discussing donations in the form of skill sharing and other offers of work to support the project. We look forwards to meeting you in the spirit of mutual generosity.<\/p>
