YIP is a ten-month, community-based, alternative study and internship program held in Sweden.
During the program, about 30 young men and women from all over the world live in a shared house, and undergo training in a variety of fields:
Alternative economics and politics, biodynamic agriculture, community building, art, biographical consulting, organizational consulting and more.
I am not one of the initiators of the program but a participant; But the nature of the program is such that each participant is also an active partner in doing and organizing projects during the studies.
As part of the program, I went for a month and a half internship in the Philippines, in humanitarian organizations and civil society organizations.
In addition, I was a partner in organizing an international conference of young men and women from all over the world who are committed to inner work and positive change in the world.
Below is a video I produced, as an assignment in one of the sessions at the conference. The video was shot in 35 countries at the same time, for one hour! Its purpose is to show that we are all connected.
Thanks to my studies, I made deep connections with young men and women all over the world, and I was privileged to jointly initiate social and ecological projects in the USA, Europe and Asia.
