Quiénes somos

Como eje colaborativo, el Proyecto Ulex está dirigido por el Col·lectiu Eco-Actiu, una asociación sin ánimo de lucro implicada en diseñar e impartir formaciones residenciales desde 2008. El Proyecto Ulex es una nueva iniciativa desarrollada sobre la base de esa experiencia.

Nuestra filosofía

La conectividad es clave para la vitalidad cognitiva y el aprendizaje. La diversidad es crucial para la resiliencia y la adaptabilidad cognitiva. Vivimos en una época en la que los desafíos sociales y ecológicos exigen un cambio: del individualismo atomizado a las redes de solidaridad. Este cambio implica una nueva colectividad que no deje de honrar la individualidad. Requiere cooperación equilibrada con autonomía. Ulex florece con la conectividad y aspira a convertirse en una referencia de la colaboración basada en valores.

Desde Ulex, trabajamos con numerosas personas y organizaciones para diseñar e impartir nuestro programa de formación. Establecemos asociaciones con organizaciones de toda Europa y a nivel internacional. Reunimos a diversos grupos e individuos en comunidades de aprendizaje. Apoyamos a organizaciones, grupos y personas para fomentar colaboraciones, construir redes, intercambiar experiencias y profundizar la resiliencia de los movimientos sociales a través de la creación de conexiones significativas.

Neus

Location:

Neus has been passionate about education since she was 8 years old and went dumpster diving in teachers’ recycling bins for worksheets to help other students learn at break-time. They moved from Castellon to Scotland to study Community Education, with a focus on youth work and adult education, where she co-founded The New Leaf Co-op, a successful workers’ co-op in Edinburgh. Whilst there Neus developed their understanding of how productivity meets good working conditions meets overturning the food system meets resourcing the commons with resilient and democratically managed capital. These passions now underpin her multiple roles at Ulex; from team culture and coordination to training and writing funding applications.

Carol Marin Alvarez has been a core member of the collective at the heart of the Ulex Project for over 15 years. Living and working as a member of the collective has given her key on-the-ground perspectives and extensive hands-on experience. With a degree in Philosophy and a post-graduate degree in Humanities from the University of Barcelona, Carol’s passion encompasses the connections between psychological drivers and socio-political transformation. Her exploration of the historical socio-political conditions in Spain and beyond, and fascination with the recent developments in the Spanish left, informs her passion for building bridges between social movements and methods for intervening in institutional politics. She currently gives attention to the dangers of the growing far right and opportunities for strategic links between grassroots organising and institutional formations.
