CTL Eguaras

The most important aspects about our organization are: -City of Tudela (Navarre, Spain) -90kms from Pamplona -Non-profit and freetime group. CTL Eguaras was created on October 4th, 2003. Since then, a young team of monitors have been creating activities that integrate some values we try to instil in our participants. These values can be summarised in three main pillars: 1. NATURE AND CULTURE We strongly defend the care that human beings must take into consideration when talking about nature. We usually make activities in different natural environments to encourage our participants to see how important is nature for humans. In addition, we feel privileged and proud of the natural environment we have in our province, Navarre. This huge variety of landscapes, resources, habitats, climates... Adventure is always ensured and it also facilitates us this labor of care. Regarding culture, we also defend the dissemination of different cultures living together. We try to meet new cultures, ideas, projects, curiosity... to make our participants aware that people are different, they have different "glasses" to see the world through, but in any case, they are human beings, and gathering several cultures allow us to learn about others, but also about us from a different perspective that maybe we did not consider. Culture is totally related to history and cultural expressions. We also try to participate in different cultural events to see how these different but great cultures interact with the participants and make them grow as proper citizens. Our tools to work this pillar are excursions, St. James' Way, camps, games, sports, (especially outdoors, but also indoors) role-playing and more! 2. SOCIETY Our Group is constantly trying to instill in social sensitiveness, altruism and collaborative work. We believe we live in an increasingly globalized world, and certain values must be fostered. These values mostly refer to citizenship, team working and disposal for help other people, regardless their origin, any kind of orientation, religion of any type. Nowadays, due to the current situation, many people reject the of different cultures, and knowing different ideas is becoming a synonym of fear. We want to reverse that situation and involve youngest generations in that change. In short words, we go for fair and good world-citizen, who can grow morally for the good of the society. Our main tools to work this pillar are the collaboration with other associations, social case, and from now on, Erasmus+ 3. INDIVIDUAL Last but not least, we try to make our members aware of their own importance in the world. We believe that everybody has a special aspect to contribute, and we think everybody should know how to share with the rest of the people their own gifts, talents, ideas and also worries. A good way to do so is by knowing oneself, and we also foster this process of self-knowing by many activities such as reflections, nature, group activities... how can you learn from the others if you cannot learn about yourself? For those reasons, we have decided to take the next step, and widen the scope of those ideas by preparing an exchange with another association of Europe. Our Group is now looking for other groups in Europe to meet and share our passion for culture, nature, history, customes, traditions, gastronomy, sharing of ideas... we are looking for a partner that would like to participate with us in this new adventure, and try to make our world a little bit better!
