"Adventure,
it's when something goes wrong..."
...that's
not what we are looking for. We define it rather as an outstanding
venture with a large number of difficulties and the uncertainty
of its outcome.
"The
exploration of uncertainty is the driving motor of human curiosity."
It
is this uncertainty that opens an array of new perspectives
regarding our knowledge of the world, science, others and
ourselves and the relationships between these.
The
access, even from our sofa, to the immense amount of information
might give us the impression that we can know everything.
However, only the confrontation with the real world allows
us an authentic experience, an experience where our skills
and our integrity play a big role. The act of doing is the
difference between knowledge and experience.
"Make
your own kind of music."
In a society where happiness is thought to be a consequence
of wealth, adventure is about living away from conventions
and ready-made solutions. Although the project is anything
but a rejection of what exists, it's a call to engage ourselves
in finding creative new solutions for present and future challenges.
"Here
and now."
Adventure,
with it's difficulties, gives us the opportunity for complete
immersion, to live in the present moment intensely, it being
the only time where we do feel alive. Adventure is our way
of enjoying life.
