Erasmus+ Project Echolove

PARTNERS

THE PROJECT

Our Mission

Every day, thousands of young people are in relationships they call "love," but that are built on control, isolation, and manipulation. The deeper problem? Often, neither partner is even aware of it.

Jealousy is mistaken for passion. Control is mistaken for protection. Dependency is mistaken for devotion. These invisible dynamics creep into young relationships with alarming ease and, if left unrecognized, can escalate into psychological and physical violence, sometimes with extreme outcomes.

EchoLove was created to break this cycle at its root: bringing into educational settings the tools to recognize manipulation before it turns into violence, and teaching young people that a healthy romantic relationship is, first and foremost, a free relationship.

OUR FOCUS

TO EDUCATE

To promote a model of conscious romantic relationships based on freedom, consent, equality, and mutual respect.

IDENTIFY

To equip teachers and educators with practical tools to identify the signs of emotional manipulation and control dynamics in youth relationships.

PREVENT

To develop educational pathways that help students deconstruct toxic romantic stereotypes and recognize the boundary between love and possession.

ARTISTIC RESEARCH RESIDENCY

Designing Awareness. The Artistic Research Residency was a social design lab where young people and artists imagined and built new relational experiences. A creative pathway prototype to transform the deconstruction of toxic relationships into an aesthetic experience of freedom..

PILOTING THE METHODOLOGY

Methodology in Action

Testing our insights in the reality of classrooms. This phase represents the experiential core of the project: a piloting pathway where educators test the activities, observe group dynamics, and collect valuable data directly from young people. A participatory refinement process to transform a good practice into an evidence-based methodology, ready to be replicated across Europe.

ARTISTIC-SOCIAL FRAMEWORK

An innovative artistic and social framework that transforms urban interventions into a practice of social inquiry. Through an "expanded choreography," the experience transcends the traditional dichotomy between stage and audience, transforming participants into conscious investigators of their own emotional dynamics.
