Program Description
This program was designed to promote critical thinking. During the three weeks that you will live in Spain and Morocco you will participate in different projects and activities designed to explore Regenerative Culture from different angles. Deep and meaningful reflections, in breathtaking landscapes, will help us gain perspective and develop tools to grow and find fulfilment in the misinformation era.
We know from experience that traveling can be an incredible vehicle for education. When we find ourselves away from our comfort zone, rethinking our cultural habits, prejudices and personal beliefs becomes a much simpler task. However, we understand that security is very important for our partners, that is why we work in very safe environments and keep our health and safety protocols updated and ready.
Course Objectives
Raise awareness and understanding around the seminar topics
Offer resources and alternatives for critical thinkers
Develop a community and knowledge bank to promote Regenerative Culture
Motivate to action
Reinvest in local community

Nature and Ecological Restoration
We recognize the Ecological crisis as the most crucial our generation will face. Understanding and making changes in our lives and in our communities will define the world our children will live in. During this seminar we will build a vertical garden, plant, clean and discuss topics such as biodiversity, climate change, carbon footprint, etc.
Heritage and Sustainability: Culture for Climate
We understand Heritage as a symbol for Identity and as a reminder of historic memory. A path towards peace, change, and a solidifier of community bonds. Tours, activities and debates, in some of the most beautiful sites the western mediterranean can offer, will help us use Cultural Heritage as a lens for regeneration and sustainability.
Migration and Social Justice
Understand the truth behind the migration crisis in Europe’s southern frontier. Hear voices from a very real world and deepen your awareness about everyday life situations. We will try to make sense of this global crisis through reflections, experiences, interviews and debate.
Leadership and Community in an Intercultural Environment
Reframe leadership and learn about organizations from a psychobiological point of view. Explore challenges and opportunities of an intercultural environment. Understand the importance of team and community building with an infinite mindset.
Emotional Intelligence Through Movement
As one of the weakest points in our society today we want to put special attention on the importance of a healthy mind and life for the undertaking of any other project. Through mindfulness, art and psychology we will dive deep into our emotional world and learn about search for meaning, patience, tolerance for frustration or technologies.
Independent Research Project
The Independent Field Research Project gives students the opportunity to work in a field of their particular interest, in a cross-cultural environment. Students have the support of an advisor to identify an area of interest, develop their topic of research and acquire methodologies for the study. The project advisor guides students through data collection, analysis of approaches, interpretation of findings, and written and oral presentation of findings.
After the program, Celei’s team will offer counseling and support to help turn these projects into action in the students’ home community.
