Broaden Impact!


The program Rural Youth and Community Building was a huge boost of energy for the village of Zarzalejo's community and had a very positive impact in its participants: the players of the Oasis Game. 15 Dutch and 20 living in Spain active youth and youth workers connected to rural areas, got together for ten days in a small village at the mountains of Madrid to play a game for social change. Embracing diversity was a key factor throughout the ten day program and big learning outcome for all stakeholders involved: participants, organisations and community.
You can find a reflection upon this diversity, written by Marta from one of our partners organizations' blog (in Spanish) GSA Madrid.

Thanks to Jeske from Elos Netherlands we have this amazing memory of What happened.




Some declarations of the local organization Fundación Creasvi:  "Ilusión, unidad, esfuerzo, sorpresas y mucha energía y trabajo colectivo son algunas de las experiencias que vivimos estos intensos días en Zarzalejo! Gracias a tod@s las personas, organizaciones y colectivos que han hecho posible vivir este sueño! :)" (Hope, unity, surprises, loads of energy and collective work, where some of the experiences that we lived during these intense days at Zarzalejo! Thanks to all the people, organizations and groups who had made possible to live this dream! :) )

Oasis Game - El Juego del Oasis

---- (texto alternado en español e inglés) ---


The Oasis Game aims to realize the dream of a community by bringing inhabitants together to co-dream, co-design and co-create that dream with their own hands, resources and hearts. The process involves a lot of interactive playful tools to make it attractive for everybody to join hands in creating a better world together, starting in their own community, starting now.

El Oasis tiene el objetivo de realizar el sueño de una comunidad; uniendo vecinos y vecinas para que juntas sueñen, diseñen y construyan ese sueño con sus propias manos, movilizando talentos y recursos locales. El proceso incorpora diversas herramientas interactivas y divertidas, resultando una actividad atractiva para que todas las personas unan esfuerzos en crear un mejor mundo juntos/as, comenzando por su propia comunidad, comenzando ahora.
