YOUTH EDUCATION AND CULTURAL IDENTITY

The rural infant and youth population are increasingly vulnerable to a series of interrelated threats that include the economic crisis of rural families, influence of urban-life and mass-media, government abandonment of rural education and the countries political conflict.

Developing alternative social and educational strategies to confront the difficult situation of young people has been a priority of our work. This pedagogic process collectively integrates teachers, parents and children, and embraces cultural and ecological identity as a central issue to achieving improved and sustainable livelihoods in the region.

We have also been supporting a rural youth training centre - Granja el Puente in its continued work (>25 years) to promote leadership, social cohesion and technical capacities in sustainable production and by developing income generation alternatives in a wide-range of rural municipalities of Santander.
