UPDATES
COVID-19 PANDEMIA
During the current COVID-19 pandemia, we're working remotely through teleconference platforms, such as Zoom or Google Meet, utilizing a Popular Education methodology. For that purpose, we´re using virtual participatory tools such as Mentimeeter, Jambord, Google slides, Youtube, Spotify, and virtual breakout groups. Our methodology, however, remains the same. We always depart from what is your previous knowledge, experience, and values in regards to any topic: Organizational development
(structures, communication/coordination mechanisms, programs performance, use of resources, etc.) Curriculum (immigration, gender equity, farmworkers rights, agroecology, health, etc.) and based on that, we build new collective knowledge using participatory tools/exercises, such as breakout groups, brainstorming, mapping, drawing, role play, analysis, etc. Additionally, our on-line events are enjoyable thanks to our experience in using icebreakers and energizers adapted to these new formats. Dont' hesitate in contact us during the course of this pandemic. We'll work with you all, as if we all were in a same physical space, as much as possible, with the additional advantage of having the visuals right there, in front of our screens!
