In this presentation I will discuss the potential of artistic practices to amplify ecological awareness. I will describe a specific art practice that can be replicated in the classroom by other teachers: Ecology of an Embrace. This is an ecoartivist project (ecology, art and activism) that recalls the eco-feminist spirit of the Chipko women. It presents a participatory approach involving social and human networks (human capital in a 2.0 context). It articulates a dialogue between real bodies / real space and social profiles / virtual space, broadening our capacity for analysis in the current environmental and civilisational crisis. The objectives and / or effects to be achieved are:
<list list-type="simple">
<list-item>- To be able to see the other in ourselves and ourselves in the other.</list-item>
<list-item>- To promote empathy.</list-item>
<list-item>- To amplify our perception (plurisensoriality).</list-item>
<list-item>- To feel the connection with the cosmos.</list-item>
<list-item>- To encourage the growth of mycorrhizae: making existing mycorrhizae visible and encouraging the emergence and growth of new ones through narrative formulas.</list-item>
