Delegation Challenge – Amazon
The Amazon is one of the most culturally and ecologically diverse territories on the planet. The Pan-Amazon territory comprises parts of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana, covering an area of 7.8 million square kilometers, in the heart of South America.
The Amazon is a decisive place for regulating the world’s climate due to its great biodiversity. However, despite the cultural and biological richness of the region, there are serious threats to the territory and its inhabitants, mainly as a result of the development model based on accumulation and extractivism that generates strong pressures on forest resources.
With this project we will contribute to the exercise of the right to education of more than 3,000 children and young people, students of 7 educational institutions in the Amazonian territories of Bolivia. We aim to:
- To continue contributing to an intercultural bilingual education with an environmental focus for children and young students in Fe y Alegría schools in Bolivia.
- Contribute to networking for the exchange of experiences and the generation of knowledge among educational institutions of Fe y Alegría in the different countries of the Amazon and advocacy, locally, nationally and internationally, on the problems of the Amazon.
- To sensitize and commit Entreculturas’ social base to quality education for children and young people in the Amazon region.
With your support we transform their lives.
At Entreculturas we want to continue promoting access to education and accompanying more people in vulnerable contexts.
How do you want to collaborate?
