The New Urban Agenda

Who Are We?

The Education Collaborative began with a collaboration between El Sindicato Cultural Comunitario and the Center for Global Justice and it is growing to include other organizations. We are a diverse and bi-lingual group that feels the need for re-imagining San Miguel and for creating a community of learners that sees Life as being the center of all human activity.

We understand our work to be based on educational projects which will involve looking for collaborations with other groups working for the same goals. We are seeking people who will work together to build a deeper sense of community that includes people of all social backgrounds, but with a focus on those most left out of educational opportunities as they currently exist.

We have been inspired by transformative educational projects such as the UniTierras (Universities of the Earth) that exist in various parts of Mexico—Chiapas, Oaxaca and Puebla—as well as in other countries and by CASA Mexico and the emerging Network for Educación para la Vida y la Paz. These projects, which take a variety of forms, have in common that they are are oriented to holistic forms of education that help people build better relations between each other and nature. They embrace environmental values that can be found is a variety of projects like Buen Vivir, Solidarity Economy, the Commons, Transition Towns, and so forth.
