Participatory Collective Action

The workshops, activities, and conferences are based on a participatory method.

In other words, learning is based on the experiences, realities, hopes, and aspirations of each person involved. Participants are considered creative and intelligent human beings with untapped potential to become agents of change.. Participatory action involves, motivates, inspires and empowers people to transform their individual and collective realities. Decision-making and actions taken are the direct result of the processes of reflection and analysis to which they belong.

Principles of participatory methodology or action:

Learning begins with the experience and knowledge of the participants, not with an established theory or body of knowledge.
Learning begins with the experience and knowledge of the participants, not with an established theory or body of knowledge.
The pedagogical approach focuses on the reality of people who participate and aims to strengthen self-esteem, self-confidence and the development of a positive and realistic self-image.
Once participants have shared, observed and accepted their own experiences, common points and general constants are sought.
New information is then introduced from different sources (external experts, specialist texts, documentaries/films, etc.) to deepen the subject and stimulate the collective creation of new ideas and the reinterpretation of existing knowledge.
Participants then apply what they have learned.
Participants put new skills into practice, develop strategies and action plans to transform aspects of their reality that they have identified as obstacles to their personal development, the creation of healthy and satisfactory relationships or their fundamental rights (depending on the subject).
