fertîles is a team of passionate facilitators and trainers who have been travelling across France for over five years (and now Belgium and the UK) to share tools and approaches that help people learn how to work and live collectively.
Each of us is engaged in our own way, united by a common desire to understand how the complexity and the power of human relationships can open up new possibilities.
We give different training sessions from 2 days to 6 weeks on : cooperation attitude, facilitation skills, visual facilitation, democratic engagement, power dynamics with a genuine head–heart–body pedagogy, integrating knowledge, emotions and embodied experience.
Because everyone comes to a group with their own background, experiences, and education, and we are convinced that this has a strong impact on group dynamics. We also believe that it is necessary to take into account our own culture and cultural habits in order to develop a cooperative attitude.
Collective movements have specific characteristics in each region. Opening up our training programs beyond borders allows us to take a step back, identify these characteristics so that we can better take them into account, and become more aware of our own habits.
Cooperation exists everywhere, and in different ways. Our training courses are learning spaces for everyone, with each course enriching the others. By offering training courses in other regions, our content and teaching methods are expanded to reflect local realities in all their uniqueness.
Many decisions that impact countries are made at the European level. Our training programs, which bring together different nationalities and cultures, foster a sense of belonging and curiosity about joint creation that transcends differences.
