🌊Sardinia in Italy and 🏺Skiros in Greece have the same tradition. During carnival, men were masks, furs and bells, walking in the street with a rythmic way.

Simone says about his island, Sardinia: 'I think this tradition its a perfect description of the Sardinian people. They look, curvy, dark but have a lot of energy'. Watch him speaking on the first comment 👇

▪️ Coming back to Water Gems ▪️

🗣 The five days training happened in January in Gran Canaria and was all about connecting people from different European islands and together exploring embodiment: a powerful somatic method with elements of movement, theater, dance and more.

✨ YOUnique was a part of this adventure through our founder Veronika Pavlová: a trainer from not-even-having-a-sea-country who (co)created this project.

👉 The project was hosted by our very dear befriended organization Asociación Atlas Gran Canaria.

ℹ The programme is co-funded and supported by the Erasmus+ programme.
