An airport transfer service, from/to Palermo (city and airport) to/from the convention site, will be present also this year.

 

*** BY PLANE and BUS

The international airports of Palermo (Falcone-Borsellino) and Trapani (Birgi) are the closest ones, from which you can hire a car or take a bus to Menfi (check timetable) or to the closest city and then to Menfi (AG).
Then a shuttle from Menfi to Lido Fiori and walk to the camping site.

This solution might be a little bit tricky depending on the time of your arrival.

WHAT TO BRING

PARTICIPATION

The fuel of Eucoco

Eucoco is made possible by the people who are involved and actively participate for its realisation.

Each year we have an amazing team of volunteers and workers who always put their best effort and feeling in making this project so beautiful.

Also this year, at Eucoco, we want to send a call for participation.
Each participant can contribute by choosing a only-1-hour shift during the entire festival.

Eucoco is based on InvolvementInclusionSelf-expression.

Our Philosophy

       Eucoco was born from the desire of creating a community of people that share the same passion.

The focus of the event is to place people in a context of relation and comparison that allows them to express their potential in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Although contortion is a well-known discipline, it is only practiced by a few. 

Many times it is difficult to find someone to share your bendy journey with. You spend so much time with yourself exploring and understanding what movements work better for your body.
Contortion is not just a way to work out, it’s a path of mental growth.
It teaches you to be patient without expecting immediate results and to breathe and handle your emotions in situations of discomfort.

Sometimes you can think of it like a different type of meditation, you need to relax not just your muscles but especially your mind. 

        It tells you that it is necessary to focus on one step at a time and not to be frightened by the entire staircase. Small changes will add up to create big transformations.

When you train a high-risk discipline it is necessary to have a good coach that spots your imbalances and pushes your limits in a safe way. Many times it is difficult to find one that lives in the same area.

This event wants to gather students and contortion lovers along with teachers and facilitators who can safely help everyone to realize their potential by paying a lot of care to prehab and injury prevention.

Eucoco is a place where you can grow, get inspired and have fun by creating a new BENDY COMMUNITY.
