Experience: “Recycling, cultivating, generating and helping my learning I develop” (2018)

• Educational Institutions: Santo Domingo Savio
• Educational Institution: El Silencio
• City: Planadas

This area suffered the consequences of several natural disasters—avalanches and landslides—that significantly affected the community living conditions. The educational institution relieved the need to undertake a plan for soil and water sources restoration and reforestation, to mitigate the result of events that risk many people’s lives.

The school generated different spaces for community involvement, promoted the integration of different areas of learning and favoured the development of soft and cognitive skills, creating awareness. In addition, it trained community members to identify the problems favouring assertive action to solve the identified problems.

Experience:
“Social transformation from education through literacy in the Nasa indigenous community”

• Educational Institutions: Ethnic Educational Institute Nasawe’sx Fi’zñi
• Educational Institution: Campus
  
• City: Planadas
  

To contribute to the conservation of the ancestral knowledge of the Nasa indigenous culture, the exchange of knowledge between elders of the community and students of the educational institution is promoted to develop literacy processes in the mother tongue.

Students and members of the Indigenous Guard have developed training activities in the Nasa Yuwe language for community members, fostering the creation of cultural spaces that preserve elements of indigenous culture.
