<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Apart from causing serious psychological harm, female genital mutilation leads to complications during pregnancy and childbirth, sexual dysfunction and chronic infections. In addition, many girls lose access to education due to the pain and health complications involved. In some areas, the costs associated with the mutilation ceremony may result in school dropout, as families are unable to afford both the procedure and schooling. <br><br>This form of violence is widespread, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, but also in some Middle Eastern countries, such as Iraq and Yemen, as well as in Indonesia.<br><br>One of the main reasons for female genital mutilation is the belief that it is necessary to secure a good marriage. In some communities, girls who do not undergo mutilation are considered promiscuous or unclean and may be excluded from marriage.<br><br>Beyond the serious risks it poses to girls&#8217; health, female genital mutilation is also a grave violation of girls&#8217; fundamental human rights.</p>

<div style="height:25px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Globally, 1 in 5 women aged 20-24 (19%) were forced into child marriage. Poverty, armed conflict, and humanitarian crises often drive this practice. Many families see marrying off their daughters as a way out to protect them from harassment or physical and sexual violence, which are common in conflict settings. <br><br>Forced child marriage deprives girls of their fundamental rights to health, education, and security. It makes them more vulnerable to multiple forms of violence, increases the likelihood of poor health, and often leads to early pregnancies when they are physically and emotionally unprepared. It also forces many girls to drop out of school. In some countries, complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death among adolescent girls aged 15-19 years.<br><br>Forced child marriage is a serious violation of girls&#8217; rights and remains one of the most widespread form of sexual abuse and exploitation affecting children under the age of 18.</p>

<p>Twenty-seven percent of girls worldwide experience sexual violence, and Latin America presents one of the most alarming scenarios: in 2017 alone, more than one million girls and adolescents were victims of this type of violence.<br><br>In addition to unwanted pregnancies, these girls often face profound psychological trauma and suffering, as well as unsafe abortions and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. They may also experience social exclusion, which can force them to live on the streets or engage in sex work. In cultures where virginity is highly valued, sexual violence can stigmatize girls, as it is often perceived as a stain on family honor, leading, in extreme cases, to the murder of the victim.</p>

<p>In the <strong>Encyclical &#8220;Laudato Si </strong> &#8211; on Care for the Common Home&#8221; (2015), Pope Francis denounces: &#8220;Many highly concentrated forms of exploitation and degradation of the environment can not only wipe out local subsistence resources, but also social capacities that have enabled a way of life that for a long time has given cultural identity and a sense of existence and coexistence.  <strong>The disappearance of a culture can be as or more serious than the disappearance of an animal or plant species.</strong>  The imposition of a hegemonic lifestyle linked to a mode of production can be as harmful as the alteration of ecosystems&#8221; (LS 146).</p>

<p>The Pope goes on to stress the importance of indigenous peoples for the care of the Common Home and warns of the pressures to which they are subjected: &#8220;In this regard, it is essential to pay special attention to aboriginal communities with their cultural traditions.  <strong>They are not just a minority among others, but must become the main interlocutors, especially when it comes to advancing major projects that affect their areas.  </strong>For them the land is not an economic good, but a gift from God and the ancestors who rest on it, a sacred space with which they need to interact in order to sustain their identity and values. When they remain in their territories, they are precisely the ones who take the best care of them. However, in various parts of the world, they are under pressure to abandon their lands in order to free them for extractive and agricultural projects that pay no attention to the degradation of nature and culture&#8221; (LS 147).</p>

<p><a href="https://www.cimi.org.br/site/pt-br/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CIMI</a> is an organ of the <a href="https://www.cnbb.org.br/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Conference of the Bishops of Brazil </a>(CNBB) at the service of the mission to the Indigenous Peoples. It was founded in 1972 by the prophet bishops <strong>Pedro Casaldáliga and Tomás Balduino</strong>, among others. CIMI is organized in 11 Regional Offices and a National Secretariat in Brasilia for national and international articulation and advocacy<a href="https://www.cimi.org.br/site/pt-br/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">(www.cimi.org.br)</a>.  </p>



<p>CIMI&#8217;s prophetic mission over the course of its  <strong>more than 40 years of existence</strong>  has been and is fundamental for the survival of indigenous peoples, joining with them in their struggles of resistance and insurgency, in the conquest of rights and differentiated public policies, demarcation and defense of territories, etc. The military government of the 1980s had officially decreed the disappearance-integration of Brazil&#8217;s indigenous peoples by the year 2000. CIMI, together with other civil society organizations, supported the indigenous movement until it succeeded in reversing this genocidal military project. Today, Brazil&#8217;s indigenous peoples continue to grow at a rate higher than the national average.</p>

<p>As Jesuits, we feel deeply grateful and privileged to join with CIMI in this common mission with indigenous peoples. To better concretize this mission, a mutual aid agreement was signed (Dec/2015) between the Jesuits of Brazil, in the person of the Provincial Fr. João Renato, and the National CIMI, in the person of its President, Msgr. Roque Palocci. &#8220;This agreement between CIMI and a religious congregation is a new and very important historical step. It can serve as an inspiration for other institutions&#8230; And thus strengthen together the prophetic and political commitment of the Church with the indigenous peoples&#8221; &#8211; said Msgr. Erwin Kräutler, bishop emeritus of Xingú, threatened with death for defending the lives of the indigenous peoples of the region.</p>



<p>It is within this agreement of mutual collaboration in the mission with isolated indigenous peoples that the <strong>CIMI &#8211; Jesuits (BRA) common fund</strong> has been established with the Entreculturas Foundation <strong>: INDIOS AISLADOS AMAZONIA</strong>.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">The EAIA was founded by CIMI in the 2000s. The missionary anthropologist<strong> Fr. Gunter Kroemer</strong> (1939-2009) was the first articulator of this team. Gunter, a German by birth, invested his entire life in the service of indigenous peoples and, in particular, the &#8220;uncontacted&#8221;. It defended -together with the CIMI- the thesis of &#8220;no-contact&#8221; as the best way to defend their lives and territories, and only accept contact when the isolated peoples themselves sought it or because their own existence was in danger and at risk.</p>



<p>This was the case of the Suruaha &#8211; &#8220;People of the Poison&#8221;, who, in order to avoid being massacred and exterminated by rubber tappers who had invaded their territory, Gunter and a CIMI team were forced to force contact in 1980. Gunter died in 2009 due to respiratory failure possibly caused by some kind of fungus he picked up on his last deep jungle entry investigating the presence of isolated Indians.</p>

<p style="margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)">What is the VISION, MISSION and ORGANIZATION of the CIMI Indian Isolation Support Team?</p>
</div>



<div class="wp-block-group has-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6a512fbb wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="border-radius:15px;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)">
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>VISION</strong></h4>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">At present, there are an <strong>estimated 160 human groups in the world with no contact with the West</strong>. Of these, some <strong>145 are in Pan-Amazon</strong>. The <a href="https://www.funai.gov.br/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Indian Foundation</a> (FUNAI) and CIMI have registered more than 100 references of isolated Indians in Brazil. And every day new groups appear due to the unbridled and predatory advance of the current system. With the increasing pressure on natural resources from extractive companies and large projects imposed on the Amazon, the most remote and remote parts of the forest are being invaded. There are fewer and fewer virgin spaces left where these peoples can take refuge and live in peace, in complete freedom and with their ancestral rights guaranteed.</p>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)"><strong>The Amazon is the region of the world with the largest number of indigenous groups in isolation.</strong>  Brazil is by far the country with the largest number (more than 100), followed by Peru with some 25 groups. The countries of the Amazon, and particularly Brazil, have a great historical responsibility, before the international community, to defend the lives of these peoples and protect their territories so that they are not invaded, nor are they exterminated. Generally, they are small groups and the &#8220;contact&#8221; is dangerous because they can catch an epidemic (flu, measles, smallpox, etc.) that can end up decimating or eliminating their population completely, as has happened many times throughout history.</p>



<div class="wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained" style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="751" height="235" src="https://www.entreculturas.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/vestigios-indigenas.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8779" srcset="https://www.entreculturas.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/vestigios-indigenas.jpg 751w, https://www.entreculturas.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/vestigios-indigenas-300x94.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px" /></figure>
</div>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">This ecological and socio-cultural richness and diversity are deeply interlinked. Satellite photographs show that the most conserved areas of the Amazon are those demarcated in favor of indigenous peoples.  <strong>Indigenous lands are even more preserved than national parks or environmental protection areas.</strong>  This is due to the profound relationship of reciprocity and care with which indigenous peoples relate to the land, feeling it as the Mother that breastfeeds and sustains them. That is why they take care of it, protect it and defend it &#8220;to the last Indian&#8221;. In the case of the isolated indigenous people, who are in the most remote and intact regions of the Amazon, this reciprocal relationship of mutual care and interdependence is even stronger and more delicate. Their existence and sustenance depends entirely on Mother Earth. They feel and live as &#8220;brothers and sisters of creation&#8221; (Pope Francis) with all the beings with whom they live.</p>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">All this<strong> balance that indigenous peoples maintain with the land is today deeply threatened in the Amazon</strong>. There are large <strong>economic interests</strong> that put pressure on this strategic region of the planet. They want to <strong>exploit their natural resources at any cost</strong>, without any consideration for their ancestral inhabitants. Without caring about their lives or the lives of all beings in this immense living community that is the Amazon.  <br/>Isolated indigenous peoples are the most vulnerable to this predatory invasion. They live in the most remote regions of the Amazon where natural resources are most intact. For this reason, the pressure and threat to them grows every day with the large development projects that are being imposed even in the last corners of the jungle where they live.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)"><strong>For CIMI, isolated indigenous peoples are one of the most vulnerable groups of people in the Amazon and in the world. They are victims of the violence of the imposed predatory global economic model.</strong> <strong>But they are also a living testimony of resistance to this globalization that standardizes and kills diversity, the life of humanity and the planet.</strong></p>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">Historically, the indigenous peoples suffered much violence throughout the 500 years of &#8220;whitewashing&#8221; of Abya Yala (America, &#8220;Mature Land&#8221; in the Kuna language). In the Amazon, the process of extermination worsened at the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century due to the extractive cycles of rubber and other raw materials of high economic interest in the international market. The violence was so brutal that many peoples were exterminated and others, those who escaped the massacres, fled from &#8220;civilization&#8221; to the most remote parts of the jungle and headwaters of the rivers.</p>



<p>Currently, isolated villages continue to be the most vulnerable. They continue to be victims of the unscrupulous violence of &#8220;hired gunmen&#8221; hired by large projects and enterprises that want to exploit the natural resources of their territories.  <strong>They are cattle ranching, agribusiness, logging, oil, mining, drug trafficking, roads, hydroelectric, waterways, etc. enterprises whose absolute principle is economic profit</strong>, without caring at all about the lives of these peoples who are, from their capitalist point of view, &#8220;minorities&#8221; blocking the advance of &#8220;development and civilization&#8221;.  <strong>As the Indians live isolated in remote regions, there is no news of the violence they suffer and they end up being eliminated without anyone knowing about it.</strong></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)"><strong>The general objective of CIMI&#8217;s Support Team for Isolated Indians is to guarantee the integrity and physical and cultural existence and the rights of isolated indigenous peoples.</strong>  Specific objectives:</p>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">&#8211; Research, map and document the existence of isolated indigenous peoples, identify their territories and their possible invasions and threats;<br/>&#8211; Collect &#8220;in locus&#8221; traces and evidence of their presence;<br/>&#8211; Discover the situation in which they find themselves;<br/>&#8211; Map the impacts of large economic and colonization projects and the environmental deforestation of their territories;<br/>&#8211; Inform FUNAI and denounce to the Federal Public Prosecutor&#8217;s Office (MPF) the threats to their physical, cultural and territorial integrity so that the necessary measures can be taken to protect and defend their lives and territories;<br/>&#8211; Demand that the Federal Government recognize the existence of these peoples, demarcate, protect and control their territories and natural resources;<br/>&#8211; Denounce the violence they suffer so that they are not depredated and exterminated with impunity by large projects and economic interests;<br/>&#8211; Political advocacy, at the national and international level, so that these isolated indigenous peoples and their territories are defended and protected, etc.</p>

<p>It is not about making contact with Isolated Indigenous Peoples. The aim is to demonstrate their existence, demarcate their territories and protect them from invaders so that they can live in peace, without having to flee continuously. They should be allowed to make contact when they want to, not when Western society wants to impose it on them, as it has done over the last five centuries. The objective is to protect their lives and territories from the depredation of the current economic system, forcing governments to recognize their existence and ancestral rights, to protect their territories. <strong>It is the obligation of the States, by the principle of vulnerability, to protect these peoples</strong>. Do not allow the entry of extractive companies to exploit the natural resources of their territories, nor allow the implementation of large projects with socio-environmental impacts that destroy their habitats and put their existence at risk.</p>



<p>A priority of CIMI&#8217;s isolated Indians team for these years is to work in <strong>the basin of the Tapajos River</strong>, one of the large tributaries south of the Amazon. In this basin <strong>, the Government is planning 43 large hydroelectric plants</strong> (power over 30 MW). FUNAI already has 7 records of isolated indigenous groups in this region. Some of them, such as the Amazon Park, were identified by CIMI &#8211; together with the Sateré Mawé people &#8211; in 2012 and 2013. And the Munduruku people, who inhabit the basin, continually provide new information about vestiges and even sightings of their isolated relatives.</p>



<p>One of the strategies to confront and attempt to paralyze the Tapajos hydroelectric megaproject is to demonstrate the existence of these isolated groups throughout the basin. It would also make visible the strong impacts it would have on the region&#8217;s ecosystem and the lives of the indigenous peoples that ancestrally inhabit it, particularly the isolated peoples who are the most vulnerable to accelerated changes in their traditional habitat.</p>

<p><strong>Material resources:</strong>  boats and speedboats for large navigable rivers and canoes with small motors for streams full of logs and obstacles, which can climb up to the headwaters and springs; equipment for documentation and report preparation such as computers and tablets, GPS with high sensitivity antenna so they do not lose the signal under the dense canopy of the jungle, waterproof cameras and filming cameras; high-sensitivity sound recorders, solar panels, solar chargers for rechargeable batteries, batteries, solar lanterns, machetes and knives, tarpaulins for camps, mosquito nets, hammocks, drinking water and food&#8230;  </p>

The region is very extensive and the distances are enormous. Transportation and prices of products coming from abroad are expensive. In particular, the work of protecting peoples in isolation, who are in the most remote and difficult to access regions, requires more resources, more days, more fuel and more specialized equipment that make this mission very costly. That is why collaboration and solidarity with this mission in the two &#8220;jungles&#8221; is fundamental.</p>

<p>CIMI carries out its mission to protect and defend the lives and territories of peoples in isolation on three fronts:  <strong>public awareness</strong>  about this reality;  <strong>resource capture</strong>  and financial resources for this challenging mission and for the  <strong>political incidence</strong>  to protect and defend the lives and territories of indigenous peoples in isolation.</p>



<p><strong>The service to this mission must be considered both on the ground, in the Amazon jungle and rivers, and in the &#8220;asphalt and concrete jungle&#8221; of the great cities and centers of economic and political power in the world.</strong>  Without this great articulation in all the &#8220;forests&#8221; in favor of life and the care of the Common Home, the Amazon and its peoples will be depredated, especially the most vulnerable, the &#8220;isolated Indians&#8221;.</p>



<p>On the other hand, the Amazon and the indigenous peoples who inhabit and care for it (because they feel intimately part of it) are very important for the balance of the planet and the future of humanity. In particular, indigenous peoples in isolation are the caretakers of the most intact and remote regions of the Amazon rainforest. They are &#8220;guardians and gardeners of the world&#8221;.  <strong>Humanity and the planet need indigenous peoples, and in particular, peoples in isolation.  </strong><br/>We insist. Isolated indigenous peoples are the most vulnerable. Their future no longer depends (only) on them&#8230; It depends, above all, on us. They need the support of humanity, of the peoples of the West. Just as the isolated indigenous peoples defend their territories with determination, &#8220;to the last Indian&#8221;, so that they are not depredated, the peoples of the &#8220;asphalt and concrete jungles&#8221; have to fight, &#8220;to the last Indian&#8221;, against consumerism and the predatory development model that the capitalist model has imposed, putting at risk the life of humanity and of the planet itself.</p>

<p>This is how clear the bishop had it  <strong>Alejandro Labaka and Sr. Inés Arango</strong>  (both from the Capuchin family). They, with generosity and prophecy, immolated their lives in June 1987 to defend the life of the isolated Tagaeri people from the ambition of the oil companies in the Yasuni Park, Coca, Ecuadorian Amazon. Faced with the imminent entry of the oil companies and the consequent massacre of the Tagaeri, Alejandro and Inés took a gamble: &#8220;If we don&#8217;t go, they&#8217;ll kill them,&#8221; said Alejandro a few hours before making his last trip. And Inés leaves a note in her room: &#8220;If I die I leave happy and I hope no one knows about me. I am not looking for a name or fame. God knows. Always with everyone, Inés&#8221;. Both missionaries felt in their hearts that this was the definitive and full crossing to the other side of the mysterious &#8220;River of Life&#8221;.</p>

<p>On the occasion of the canonization of <strong>José de Anchieta</strong>, Father General Adolfo Nicolas writes a letter (02-04-2014) to the whole Society of Jesus encouraging us to a true apostolic and itinerant ardor. Referring to Anchieta, he affirms: &#8220;He was certainly not moved to lead this itinerant life by any spirit of adventure, but by a spirit of availability for the mission, of spiritual freedom and of readiness to seek and find the will of the Lord at all times. He was accompanied to the end by a truly apostolic ardor. Since I do not deserve to be a martyr in any other way,&#8221; he wrote, &#8220;may death at least find me helpless in one of these mountains and there leave my life for my brothers. The disposition of my body is weak, but the strength of grace, which from the Lord will not be lacking, is sufficient for me&#8221;.  </p>



<p>General continues: &#8220;Shouldn&#8217;t itinerancy &#8211; with all that it implies in terms of spiritual freedom, availability and the ability to discern and make choices &#8211; be one of the indispensable characteristics of our apostolic body? Anchieta&#8217;s continuous pilgrimage, almost a way of life, could inspire today and encourage our search for apostolic mobility, in order to respond to the challenges posed by the new frontiers.&#8221;</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">On April 6, 2017, we will be celebrating the  <strong>30th anniversary of the martyrdom of Bro. Vicente Cañas</strong>Kiwxi &#8211; its indigenous name. He was killed in Mato Grosso by gunmen sent by a landowner who wanted to invade the territory of an isolated people, the Enawene-Nawe. To defend their territory and their lives, Kiwxi gave his life. They were only 97 people when they were contacted by Kiwxi in 1974. Today there are more than 1,000!</p>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">&#8220;Among the traditional Christians is that some Seeds of the Word must be found and discovered. Among the Enawene-Nawe, true Rest of Yahweh, those seeds are already forests and produce fruits of life, of bliss&#8221; (Kiwxi).</p>



<p style="margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)">In the end, the Amazon and its indigenous peoples, and especially the isolated peoples, are a gift and a grace that marks the soul, one&#8217;s vocation and spiritual experience, life and existence. This mission makes it easier to taste and feel &#8220;God in all things and all things in Him&#8221;, as Ignatius of Loyola would say. A mission that helps to engage life and care for the Common Home and all beings that inhabit it to the ultimate consequences.</p>

<p><strong>Fernando López</strong>The Jesuit, assigned to support CIMI in the Team for the Support of Isolated Indians, gives us his testimony of itinerancy through the geographical and symbolic frontiers of the Amazon in the footsteps of the isolated brothers: &#8220;It is a gift and an immense gift to be part of the CIMI team for the support of indigenous people in isolation. It is a profound, consoling and indescribable experience. The regions where the isolated brothers take refuge are remote, often untouched and unspoiled. These are jungle areas that, on many occasions, not even the expedition&#8217;s own Indian guides are familiar with. We searched for, identified and documented with GPS coordinates, photos, videos and field reports the traces of the presence of &#8220;isolated relatives&#8221; or &#8220;brave warriors&#8221; &#8211; as the Indians of the region familiarly call them. We also recorded the invasions we encountered, the threats to their territories and their very existence. With this well-documented information, we try to influence politically in different governmental and social instances, to protect and defend their lives and territories. It is an enormous privilege to be there: To enter the headwaters of the rivers and the deep jungle accompanied by indigenous people of the region; to be eyewitnesses and experiential witnesses of the habitat of the &#8220;last free peoples&#8221; of the planet; to step on that sacred land, &#8220;common home&#8221;, to see, smell, hear, eat and drink the same as those &#8220;free brothers and sisters&#8221;; to feel in the skin the cold sweat and in the acceleration of the heartbeat the threats, invasions and conflicts that threaten their territories and their own physical and cultural life&#8230;. There are moments when the blood boils in our veins: either out of awe at the grandeur of creation in these jungles and rivers; or out of indignation at the violence and depredation imposed by our civilized world?  <strong>Companions: let us unite in prayer and mission, in all the frontiers and &#8220;jungles&#8221; where the wounds are most open and life is most threatened, because one jungle without the other has no solution.  </strong>And because &#8220;if we don&#8217;t go, they kill them&#8221; &#8211; as Msgr. Alejandro Labaka.</p>

Junto al profesor que le tutorizó el Trabajo de Fin de Máster, y siguiendo con esa investigación, avanzarán&nbsp;en un Doctorado en el ámbito de sociología de la educación.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Como afirma la propia Beatriz, &#8220;no solemos ser tan diferentes al fin y al cabo, como a casi todo el mundo, me gusta compartir mi tiempo, pasarlo con las personas que quiero y conocer a otras nuevas, leer, el cine, dibujar, escribir, hacer deportes de riesgo (escalada, buceo, snowboard&#8230;), viajar (pero no &#8220;hacer turismo&#8221;) y aprender casi cualquier cosa nueva que tenga que ver con las ciencias humanas&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>¿Conocías el trabajo de Entreculturas? ¿Cómo llegaste a conocer Entreculturas?</strong></p>
<p>En 2015 conocí, a través del boletín de noticias de mi universidad, el curso “Acércate al Sur”, hoy llamado “Fronteras”. En los caminos que tomamos siempre solemos encontrar personas significativas a las que poder agradecer. A mí, en esta parte del viaje, me gusta presentar a Stefi, una antigua voluntaria de EC que encontré por casualidad en la facultad de educación; fue ella quien finalmente me animó a hacerlo.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Me gustó tanto el curso, no solo el contenido sino la metodología, los discursos lógicos basados en ideas simples y potentes como el respeto, la coherencia, la cooperación horizontal… que me quedé como voluntaria. He aprendido mucho en estos años gracias a las distintas formaciones, personas, encuentros institucionales, reuniones de ciudadanía… y finalmente a la formación VOLPA.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Cómo conociste VOLPA?</strong></p>
<p>Una vez dentro de la ONG es imposible no conocer VOLPA. Aparte de las “noches de té”, siempre había alguien en las reuniones que “había sido” VOLPA, que acababa de volver o que estaba haciendo la formación. Desde el primer momento me sentí totalmente atraída por el programa y las historias que escuchaba, los aprendizajes y encuentros. Y hoy, años después, me encuentro respondiendo estas preguntas desde mi enclave VOLPA.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Es tu primera experiencia de Voluntariado Internacional?</strong></p>
<p>Sí, pero no de voluntariado. El programa te exige haber realizado voluntariado local. En Sevilla he estado en voluntariados muy diversos, he trabajado casi siempre con la infancia aunque también estuve en una protectora de animales. Cuando empiezas a conocer el mundo es imposible no hacerlo desde un posicionamiento holístico. Sin embargo, es la igualdad de género y especialmente, la infancia vulnerable, los colectivos por los que me siento poderosamente interpelada. Soy maestra, por lo que es deformación profesional. Empecé en Crecer con Futuro, una ONG con un equipo de personas maravillosas, que alimentaron mi compromiso social.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Aunque VOLPA es diferente a cualquier otro tipo de voluntariado que haya hecho e incluso a la concepción que tenía del voluntariado. Es una inmersión total, no sabes dónde empieza y termina el voluntariado y donde lo hace tu vida. No es una actividad a la que vas los martes por la tarde y luego vuelves a casa. No “vas” al voluntariado, estás en él, lo estás viviendo. Por tanto, no es solo “hacer”, sino “ser y estar, haciendo”.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Qué significaron para ti los meses de formación previa?</strong></p>
<p>Los meses previos fueron esenciales y siempre he apreciado la calidad de la formación y del equipo al completo. Antes de venir ya lo sentía así pero lo he comprobado al venir a terreno. Me siento muy afortunada también por haber conocido al grupo de mujeres que conforman esta promoción VOLPA, las que están y las que partieron por otros caminos, pero compartiendo un objetivo social común. Sin duda el proceso no tendría sentido si no fuera en grupo.&nbsp;</p>
<p>El COVID nos obligó a iniciar y continuar una buena parte de la formación de forma online. Nos perdimos físicamente todos los encuentros, regionales y nacionales. Pero aun así, con la participación del grupo y la implicación de las formadoras, conseguimos no perder el sentido. Por eso creo que tuvo tanto impacto el primer encuentro presencial de fin de semana en Huelva, que justo coincidió con la toma de decisión. Sin duda lo recuerdo como el momento más especial de toda la formación.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lo que vemos en los meses previos se materializa aquí, en terreno. En nuestro caso, las formadoras y formador (Rocío, Mila y Fernando) llevan años acompañando Volpas o lo han sido en primera persona, conocen miles de historias… Eso hace que conozcan muy bien los miedos, situaciones, choques o conflictos que suelen darse; aunque por supuesto, cada experiencia es única y no hay formación que te de las claves para una experiencia perfecta y sin errores. Aun así, me encanta descubrirme en situaciones que nos advertían que podrían ocurrir, mientras yo pensaba: “bueno, eso no me va a pasar a mí”, y finalmente, por supuesto que sí… sí que me han pasado. Es un proceso de aprendizaje y humildad continuo.&nbsp;</p>
<p>El acompañamiento en la formación y aquí, durante el tiempo de voluntariado en terreno, está siendo muy significativo para mí. En mi caso, mi acompañante también es amigo y siempre encuentra tiempo para pasarse horas charlando o leyendo escritos infinitos, darme feedback, apoyo y herramientas de reflexión.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿A qué país fuiste destinada? ¿Cuándo llegaste allí?</strong></p>
<p>Llegué a Kinshasa, capital de la República Democrática del Congo (RDC) el 14 de octubre de 2021. En Kinshasa estuve un mes, hasta que llegué a Kikwit, mi ciudad actual de residencia, lo que ahora es mi hogar.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Durante toda la formación pensé que mi destino se encontraría, como casi todos los que conocía, en Latinoamérica. Cuando Fernando, mi acompañante, me hizo pensar en África me ilusionó y me removió a la vez por todo el ideario latinoamericano que había construido durante toda la formación. Más tarde, Ana y Sonia me propusieron la RDC como enclave en la entrevista que tuvimos en Sevilla e instintivamente (aunque me dejaron tiempo para meditarlo) dije que sí. Hoy me siento agradecida por cómo se bifurcan los distintos caminos, cómo sucede la toma de decisiones, las coincidencias&#8230; que me han traído hasta aquí, para conocer a personas que ya forman parte de mi historia de vida y, espero, formar yo parte de las suyas.</p>
<p><strong>¿Con qué institución estás colaborando?</strong></p>
<p>Aquí trabajo con Foi et Joie RDC. La oficina está en Kinshasa aunque yo vivo en Kikwit, a unos 500km y más de 8h por una difícil carretera. El equipo de Kinshasa es excepcional, en la oficina no solo se respira profesionalidad, sino buen rollo y amistad. Esas personas que empezaron siendo desconocidas no tardaron en llamarse amigas. El equipo es muy joven y está lleno de fuerza; traen un aire congolés renovador, transformador y local.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alfred, coordinador de Fe y Alegría RDC, junto con Christelle, Ruth, Arvie, Fabrice, Pitshou, Lucie y Matondo, conforman la oficina nacional desde Kinshasa. Pese a ser una oficina joven (tanto por su plantilla como por el tiempo de vida de FyA en RDC), tienen proyectos de educación para el desarrollo en Kimwenza (Kinshasa), Kikwit, Kisantu y actualmente se están expandiendo a otras zonas “donde termina el asfalto”.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Qué es lo particular de este voluntariado y del proyecto que estás realizando? ¿Cuál es tu misión? Describe tu día a día.</strong></p>
<p>Si esperas que te cuente una “rutina” semanal, voy a decepcionarte. Y eso es lo particular de mi voluntariado. Fe y Alegría está naciendo en RDC y aunque ya han avanzado en muchos proyectos, el voluntariado también tiene que tomar forma. Mi tarea principal es la formación del profesorado de colegios a los que acompaña Fe y Alegría en Kikwit, así como un par de conferencias a adolescentes. Este refuerzo pedagógico se realiza en fin de semana, uno o dos al mes, lo cual me deja bastante tiempo libre. Y hasta ahí la misión que me han encomendado. Sin embargo, ocupo mi tiempo con otros proyectos que parece que empiezan a emerger.</p>
<p>Actualmente me reúno con un grupo de mujeres de Kikwit que llevan unos 10 años organizando actividades de género por el 8M durante todo el mes de marzo.&nbsp; La Red Generación 21+ ya existe en Kinshasa, pero en Kikwit estamos empezando a despegar. El inicio ha sido muy bueno, confiamos en que consiga consolidarse en el tiempo. Con algunas profesoras realmente potentes de los colegios, queremos aunar, en una “guía didáctica”, los aspectos metodológicos, de contenido y ayudas pedagógicas básicas para aquellos docentes con más dificultades.</p>
<p>Es ahora cuando realmente estoy empezando a rodar y se están gestando proyectos que pueden salir o no, pero que queremos intentar: un programa de radio de cuentacuentos con posterior debate docente, cine-fórums en uno de los institutos jesuitas, unas jornadas de teatro lideradas por Ginho, encargado de la radio y experto en organizar actividades culturales.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Lo importante de todos estos proyectos es que la iniciativa surge y el liderazgo reside en personas locales con ganas de continuarlos a medio-largo plazo. Siempre me encuentro en un segundo o tercer plano, apoyando donde me necesiten y proponiendo ideas que pasan por sus filtros. No solo para que los proyectos gocen de autonomía local sino porque me rodeo de equipos profesionales y comprometidos de los que me permito aprender.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Aprovecho siempre que puedo para visitar los colegios (especialmente el de infantil), recibir clases de kikongo del Père Mate o acompañarlo en su trabajo en el huerto, leer o escribir.</p>
<p>Reducir la velocidad, parar, es realmente algo a interiorizar. La vida aquí se saborea, va más despacio y casi todo gira en torno a las relaciones sociales. Una de las cosas más importante que estoy aprendiendo es la importancia de estar presente. Se espera de los demás un simple mensaje de texto (“Bonjour, ça va?”), una llamada o una visita que se celebra con una generosa hospitalidad, sonrisas y una cálida acogida. Y por supuesto algo de comer y beber, que no falten los cacahuetes, plátanos o el “fufú”.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>No tengo día a día, cada día es diferente y parecido. Todas las comidas son a la misma hora, es el momento de encuentro con los curas de la comunidad, que se hacen llamar “mis tíos”. A veces es difícil gestionar la falta de horarios y tareas prestablecidas, pero eso me obliga a tener una continua actitud de reflexión y tener iniciativa. Como decía, los encuentros son asiduos, ya sea por una invitación, porque llegan huéspedes a la comunidad o porque surge una conversación con cualquier persona en la calle.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Cómo fueron las primeras semanas de trabajo?</strong></p>
<p>El comienzo del trabajo como tal se ha hecho de rogar. Cuando llegué, mi tarea que se da en los colegios, estaba totalmente paralizada por una huelga docente que duró hasta noviembre. Por tanto, el equipo decidió que me quedase en Kinshasa un mes antes de llegar a mi destino, Kikwit. Una vez aquí, los colegios seguían cerrados. Cuando abrieron no sabía muy bien qué tenía que hacer, así que me dediqué a visitarlos, observar y aprender. Sin darme cuenta empezaron las vacaciones de navidad, pasando alguna que otra malaria por el camino. En diciembre hicimos la primera formación, previo estudio de intereses, etc. En enero volví a Kinshasa dos semanas y es ahora cuando estamos empezando a rodar.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Esa es la magia de VOLPA, que nunca sabes qué te espera, y me gusta tal y como se está desarrollando: aceptando, aprendiendo y respetando los tiempos de adaptación, seguridad, participación y, sobre todo, encuentro.</p>
<p>En cualquier caso, las primeras semanas de adaptación al contexto se dieron de una forma muy natural, propiciadas por las personas que me acogieron. Cuando me preguntan qué opino de la RDC siempre respondo con una palabra: “acogedora”. Es inevitable enamorarse rápido.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><strong>¿Qué es lo que más te ha llamado la atención en este tiempo?</strong></p>
<p>En primer lugar, lo que más me ha llamado la atención es la calidad humana. Creo que nunca había estado en un lugar donde encontrar a un número tan elevado de personas con un carácter tan (de nuevo) acogedor. Me fascina la ilusión constante por el encuentro, por conocerse, la facilidad para intercambiar contactos, para compartir, para celebrar, para hablarse con exquisito respeto, para confiar, para partir siempre de una imagen positiva del otro.&nbsp;</p>
<p>En segundo lugar, relacionado con esta cultura del encuentro, no deja de sorprenderme el contraste. Aquí comparto solo algunos ejemplos.</p>
<p>Por una parte, contraste entre un carácter que huye del conflicto, que cuida las palabras para nunca faltar al respeto, que mima los detalles para los invitados, donde no faltan cacahuetes y sonrisas, que no juzga tan rápido; por otra parte, las continuas advertencias de los curas sobre la peligrosidad de Kikwit, el vandalismo callejero, los accidentes, los juicios ligados al género o la religión, la violencia, una policía corrupta…<br />&nbsp;<br />Contraste entre una población emprendedora, con una juventud súper potente y formada con ganas de transformar la sociedad, con las mujeres más fuertes que haya conocido, con expertas/os en temas de primera actualidad, líderes de las universidades del país, con niños y niñas delicadamente respetuosos&#8230; Y entre un sistema educativo y sanitario deficiente, una administración desastrosa, un estado que ha abandonado a su población, funcionariado que no recibe salarios, casas hechas de barro, demasiado trabajo infantil…</p>
<p>Contraste entre la suciedad, las malas condiciones de higiene, el mal estado de los edificios y entre personas que pasean en este escenario con sus caros trajes de chaqueta, iphones, vestidos, tacones y gafas de sol de marca.&nbsp;<br />Contraste entre casas hechas de barro, bambú y paja y el gran panel solar que se sitúa en el tejado, a la última en cuanto a energía renovable.<br />Contraste entre melancólicos seguidores de Mobutu y los colonos belgas asegurando que cualquier tiempo pasado fue mejor y entre personas que confían en la democracia, en una juventud comprometida con la innovación, la defensa de la justicia, la igualdad de género, el orgullo africano…<br />Y contraste entre tradiciones locales e influencias occidentales (sincretismo de brujería y cristianismo, por ejemplo).<br />Son solo algunos ejemplos de un país que no deja de sorprenderme por poder encontrarlo todo en él, de un extremo al otro. Y ese contraste se materializa en una toma de decisiones constante, de continuo posicionamiento.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Hay algo a lo que te esté costando especialmente adaptarte?</strong></p>
<p>Prácticamente, lo único que me ha hecho tener días malos ha sido el miedo a las enfermedades. Como decía, la cultura congolesa que estoy conociendo es hospitalaria y espontánea, por lo que los pequeños contratiempos o choques culturales, por el momento, son fácilmente solucionables.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Podría decir que las condiciones de higiene fuera de la comunidad y la limitada asistencia médica en Kikwit es lo que más me está costando sobrellevar. En cuanto a enfermedades, ya he tenido un par de veces malaria, fiebre tifoidea, infecciones… Da miedo escucharlo, pero la verdad es que con medicación y siendo lo suficientemente prudente para ir al médico ante cualquier síntoma, no he tenido ningún problema. De hecho, he pasado gripes peores en España.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pero sí he sentido, sobre todo las primeras veces, bastante aprensión al escuchar el nombre de enfermedades, que a priori dan miedo, y he temido por aquellas que ni siquiera conozco. Sin embargo me siento muy acompañada, tanto el equipo de Kinshasa como el de España siempre están pendientes de mi estado de salud y de que todo se desarrolle con normalidad, y poco a poco voy normalizándolo, así como mi cuerpo se va acostumbrando.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Aquí es casi obligado preguntar por la salud como parte del saludo. Esto me ayuda a entender lo difícil que es realizar proyectos de vida, esforzarse en los estudios o el trabajo, en cuidar de la familia o pensar a largo plazo cuando estás continuamente enferma; me ayuda a admirar a personas que nunca se detienen. Aquí en general la gente no tiene miedo de la malaria (de hecho se ríen amistosamente de mí cuando continuamente me echo repelente), conviven con ella y saben cómo tratarla. Sin embargo, yo no dejo de pensar en el obstáculo que supone no tener todas las condiciones, calidades y servicios sanitarios disponibles, sobre todo, para aquellas personas que no viven en Kinshasa.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Participas activamente en algún programa relacionado con mujeres en el que esté involucrado Entreculturas? ¿Podrías comentarnos cómo se desarrolla y de qué va el proyecto?</strong></p>
<p>Actualmente asisto a unas reuniones los viernes. Es un grupo de mujeres que lleva más de 10 años preparando el 8M con actividades de sensibilización durante todo el mes de marzo. Son mujeres de todas las edades, mujeres inteligentes y fuertes con un discurso interiorizado que comparten alto y claro: “queremos tener las mismas oportunidades, somos capaces de todo si contamos con los mismos recursos y derechos”. Como ya sabemos, hablamos de feminismos, en este caso afrofeminismo. Las reuniones son en kikongo y sus costumbres y tradiciones no se ven afectadas por sus deseos de igualdad. Nos espera un mes de marzo interesante en el que se prevén conciertos, teatro, cine-fórum, conferencias… Todo, en torno a las mujeres.&nbsp;</p>
<p>En Kikwit, al menos, no es Fe y Alegría quien organiza el 8M pero sí colabora con este grupo de mujeres. El año pasado hicieron unas jornadas de “lidership femenin” en la que, mujeres exitosas profesionalmente, dieron charlas a jóvenes adolescentes, convirtiéndose en ejemplos de liderazgo femenino.&nbsp;</p>
<p>En cualquier caso, Foi et Joie RDC apuesta por la educación de las niñas y por visibilizar esta necesidad que verbaliza en sus campañas, actos y publicaciones.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Podrías hablarnos desde tu perspectiva y como cooperante voluntaria como ves a la mujer dentro de la sociedad en la que actualmente cumples con tu voluntariado?</strong></p>
<p>Estas mujeres, en mi humilde opinión, son el gran motor de la RDC. He conocido a algunas mujeres, como Charlotte, que trabaja en casa, es maestra en el colegio y también trabaja en el campo, junto con su hija mayor. El campo donde cultivan maíz, cacahuetes, yuca entre otras cosas, está a 1h andando de su casa.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Como me explicó el padre Mate, existen tribus patriarcales y matriarcales, con unas difíciles normas de funcionamiento, herencia, líneas sucesorias y de poder. La mujer, como en todo el mundo, vive en una sociedad que le exige más y le permite menos que a los hombres, que sufre violencia en todas sus manifestaciones.&nbsp;</p>
<p>En occidente y desde nuestros feminismos hemos visto la necesidad real de hablar de sororidad, de aparcar esa competencia que materializamos inconscientemente como hijas del sistema. Aquí admiro la ausencia de ese discurso, porque no es necesario. Muchos matrimonios surgen de pactos entre familias en las zonas más rurales. Ser madre y esposa es el fin para el que educan a muchas niñas, es el objetivo de sus vidas, que en ocasiones no lo desencadena el amor. Y veo que se dan relaciones de cooperación entre las mujeres, de ayuda mutua, veo la alegría que se expresan por compartir espacios juntas, charlar, reír… Ya sean familia, amigas o desconocidas. Al menos, es lo poco que he podido leer desde mi perspectiva y sobre todo de las conversaciones que he tenido con mujeres sobre este tema.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Aunque solo me encuentre en un círculo que específicamente trate el tema de género, no hay ningún espacio en el que trabaje en el que no haya mujeres a las que admirar. En los colegios de infantil y primaria, las jóvenes del grupo de voluntariado, las compañeras de la oficina de Kinshasa, en las comunidades…: Charlotte, Julienne, Dorcas, Nadine, Françoise, Therese, mama Pauline, Christelle, Ruth, Arvie, Lucie, Shayda, Mayele, Mety… La juventud femenina pisa fuerte, es competente, sabe lo que quiere y lucha por ello. Siento que no dejo de aprender, que podemos hablar con naturalidad, confianza y encontrar espacios donde compartir nuestras ideas.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>¿Recomendarías VOLPA a otras personas? ¿Por qué? Anima a las personas a hacerlo.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>Por supuesto. Hablamos de la “experiencia de voluntariado” pero, citando a una amiga VOLPA (Lucía), no es una simple experiencia, es una parte de tu vida. Estando en un contexto tan diferente tienes que dejar tus placeres y exigencias a un lado y aprender por todos los medios a colaborar, a escuchar, a ceder… Aprendes a descubrir prejuicios y estereotipos de los que te creías libre, a ver que los conflictos que parecen lejanos, pasan en un país de personas que ahora son tus vecinas, compañeras y amigas. Aprendes valores comunitarios que no sabías que existían en un mundo que parecía hecho para alimentar tu ego y tus placeres.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Aun me queda medio año, pero a día de hoy siento que estoy exactamente donde tengo que estar, con quien tengo que estar, haciendo lo que tengo que hacer. Las transformaciones intrapersonales e interpersonales coexisten y se retroalimentan, no se da la una sin la otra. Y normalmente el fruto de esta transformación holística, si es auténtica, se traduce en compromiso social, en dejar de resignarse y comenzar a indignarse, en sentirse parte de la gran ciudadanía global.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Y sin atreverme a adelantar aprendizajes generales que pueden ser y serán tan diferentes dependiendo de la persona y las circunstancias, simplemente estás aquí, compartiendo de la forma más real, sin distracciones, para convertir el yo en nosotras y el discurso en compromiso activo y coherente.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hace ya cuatro años de la primera reunión que mantuvimos en la sede de Entreculturas con Isabel Fernández y Juanita Bagés, por entonces profesoras del Grado en Diseño de la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, en la que nos sentamos a hablar sobre cómo <strong>darle un giro a su asignatura</strong>. Impartían la asignatura de Teoría de la Imagen, y tenían la voluntad de iniciar un cambio, que acercase los contenidos de su materia a la realidad social que vivimos.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A través de muchas conversaciones fuimos dando forma al proyecto. La metodología que mejor aplicaba era la de <strong>aprendizaje &#8211; servicio:</strong> un enfoque que permite trabajar los contenidos propios de las distintas materias, aplicándolos a la realización de un proyecto para dar respuesta a una realidad social en nuestros entornos. La realidad social escogida fue las <strong>migraciones forzosas en el mundo</strong>, y el proyecto arrancó en 2016 con los grupos de la asignatura anteriormente mencionada, bajo el nombre de <strong>Miradas que Migran.</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000"><strong><span style="font-size:16px">2019/2020: La cuarta edición del proyecto</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Cuatro años después, nos encontramos finalizando la cuarta edición de este proyecto, que ha ido <strong>sumando docentes, asignaturas y estudiantes</strong>. Cerca de <strong>1000 estudiantes de la Facultad de Diseño </strong>han pasado por él, coordinados por un equipo que suma a 7 docentes de 5 asignaturas distintas. El proyecto ha llegado también a concursos y congresos socioeducativos, mencionado como buena práctica en publicaciones educativas, y ha permeado a otros contextos y comunidades autónomas.&nbsp;</p>
<p>En esta edición hemos vuelto a poner el foco en la realidad de las migraciones forzosas y la situación de <strong>vulneración de derechos que viven las personas migrantes y refugiadas en el mundo</strong>, desde el punto de vista de cómo esta nos interpela y nos obliga a reflexionar sobre nuestro papel como ciudadanía a la hora de construir una cultura de acogida. Durante estos cuatro años de andadura, hemos visto cómo las cifras de personas migrantes forzosas aumentaban, al tiempo que las políticas de acogida se recrudecían y situaciones como la ocasionada actualmente por la covid-19 volvían a agravar y a añadir nuevos retos a la situación en la que se encuentran estas personas.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<p>Durante esta cuarta edición, hemos hecho hincapié en las migraciones forzosas ocasionadas por la sobreexplotación de recursos naturales y la degradación del medioambiente ocasionada en gran medida por el impacto del cambio climático. Como cada curso, desde la Fundación Entreculturas facilitábamos clases de introducción sobre la temática, para promover el conocimiento, debate e investigación sobre esta realidad, tras las cuales los y las estudiantes, bajo la coordinación de su profesorado y el feedback de la Fundación, realizaban <strong>distintas creaciones en el marco de las asignaturas </strong>implicadas en el proyecto, que incluyen desde instalaciones artísticas, letras, traducciones y la innovación de esta edición: <strong>diseño de juegos didácticos con los que trabajar con personas y grupos esta realidad.&nbsp;</strong><br />&nbsp;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" src="https://www.entreculturas.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/g.1_un_paso_puede_marcar_la_diferencia_-_revisado-6_page-0001.jpg" style="width: 900px;height: 506px;margin: 0px">Las creaciones de este curso permiten muchas posibilidades a la hora de trabajarlas con ciudadanía, lo que constituye el alma de este proyecto. El objetivo es crear recursos para posteriormente realizar <strong>exposiciones y talleres con personas, colectivos y grupos, </strong>de manera que sus creaciones actúen como espacio para promover la reflexión y el debate, así como movilizar la capacidad ciudadana para actuar sobre esta realidad.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color:#FF0000"><strong><span style="font-size:16px">Una jornada de clausura en formato virtual</span></strong></span></p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" src="https://www.entreculturas.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/imagen_zoom.png" style="margin: 10px;width: 600px;height: 319px"><br />La situación ocasionada por la covid-19 nos ha impedido inaugurar la exposición con todas las creaciones y empezar a dinamizar estos talleres presenciales como en ediciones anteriores. Sin embargo, el pasado martes 19 de mayo de 2020 tuvimos el <strong>cierre online de esta edición con los y las estudiantes y el equipo docente.&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>El espacio ha reunido hasta a 63 representantes del equipo educativo y de los y las estudiantes, con los que hicimos un repaso de los contenidos tratados este curso, realizamos un recorrido por lo que habían sido los 4 años de proyecto y evaluamos tanto sus propuestas de mejora, como qué se llevaban de su paso por el mismo, aspectos que vemos resumidos en esta nube de palabras.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" alt="" src="https://www.entreculturas.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/nube_palabras_mqm_2020.jpg" style="width: 900px;margin: 10px;height: 506px"></p>
<p><strong>Alicia del Real,</strong> estudiante del Grado de Diseño participante en el proyecto, afirmaba que “estamos en un mundo más interconectado que nunca, pero de nada sirve vivir en un mundo conectado, si no somos responsables y consecuentes. Este proyecto nos ha servido para crear puentes, para deshacernos de prejuicios y discriminaciones y crear una nueva mirada.&nbsp;El mundo no se ha parado, algunos de los países de acogida están recrudeciendo sus discursos de odio hacia las personas migrantes. Por eso necesitamos actuar más que nunca, aprovechar el momento que vivimos para crear conciencia y cuestionamiento hacia nuestra actitud de acogida, tomar un papel de responsabilidad y acción. Debemos exigir a nuestros a nuestros gobiernos cumplir el derecho de asilo, crear un modelo migratorio más justo”.</p>
<p><strong>Natalia Hidalgo Esteban</strong>, también estudiante, decía “abres tu mente y consigues ser más consciente de los problemas que están justo en frente nuestra. Al abrir tu mente, también cambias tu forma de diseñar: tomas conciencia de cómo tu forma de vida afecta enormemente a otros lugares y desafíos en el mundo, en contextos de conflicto. Proyectos como este nos enriquecen como personas y en nuestra carrera como diseñadores/as”.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Claudia Sánchez,</strong> profesora de la Universidad miembro del equipo educativo que acompaña el proyecto, recalcaba ”el simple hecho de celebrar este espacio y haber hecho este recorrido ya está suponiendo cambios y aprendizajes. Nunca subestimen su papel y capacidad de acción, cada pequeña acción va a tener efecto en otras personas&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Inmaculada E. Maluenda</strong>, profesora, comentaba “este proyecto es una forma de obligarme a seguir aprendiendo disfrutando. Es tan importante, porque nos aporta como personas. Tener otra mirada sobre las cosas, aprender críticamente de la realidad. Ahora os estáis formando desde el diseño para desempeñar un trabajo pero en la Universidad también podemos aprender y salir con un posicionamiento sobre la realidad que también es necesario”. Matizaba también <strong>Juanita Bagés</strong>, coordinadora del equipo docente acompañante del proyecto, “La dura y compleja situación actual, solo empeora la realidad de las personas en situaciones más vulnerables. Así que, todo el trabajo que han realizado suma a ese cambio. Porque, además, nos ayuda a ser más conscientes de la importancia del Diseño para alcanzar objetivos tan necesarios como son los ODS. Seguimos en el camino con una visión global, con energía e ilusión, y con ganas de cambiar las cosas”.</p>
<p>En representación del equipo educativo de la entidad, <strong>Clara Maeztu</strong>, técnica del Área de Ciudadanía de Entreculturas señalaba que “El proyecto no se acaba aquí, porque esperamos que haya pasado de ser un proceso educativo a convertirse en una actitud ante la vida, unas gafas que nos acompañarán de aquí en adelante para marcar una manera de posicionarnos ante el mundo en el que vivimos, que nos impulse a trabajar por transformar siempre desde nuestros distintos espacios vitales aquello que consideramos injusto.”</p>
<p>Tras la evaluación, quisimos hacer llegar sus mensajes, trabajos y lo aprendido durante el proyecto a la ciudadanía, a través de una <strong>tormenta en redes sociales</strong>. A través de la misma, el 19 de mayo a partir de las 12h los y las estudiantes publicaron posts a través de sus redes personales y de los perfiles de Redec, plataforma educativa online de Entreculturas, <strong>resumiendo lo aprendido durante el proyecto, transmitiendo mensajes a favor de una cultura de acogida.<span id="docs-internal-guid-4857c0dd-7fff-a822-d010-b53d673e921b"><span style="font-size: 12pt;font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;background-color: transparent"> </span></span>De esta manera, pudimos llenar la “plaza virtual” de mensajes, para fomentar la reflexión y el posicionamiento de la sociedad a favor de la defensa de los derechos humanos de las personas migrantes y refugiadas.&nbsp; </strong></p>

Hiraeth es la palabra galesa que expresa el sentimiento de &#034;hogar perdido&#034; o la simple ausencia de algo, añoranza de un tiempo pasado, de una época, de una persona… de su hogar. Con este sentimiento es con el que las personas que se ven obligadas a abandonar su hogar parten hacia un futuro incierto, y sobre todo un camino lleno de dificultades que no siempre se logran superar. Desarrollando este proyecto hemos aprendido que el camino que tienen que recorrer estas personas es mucho más complicado de lo que creíamos, es tas personas se enfrentan a diario a embaucadores, traficantes, al hambre, la sed y el cansancio ¿por qué? ¿por un futuro incierto? Hemos aprendido a ponernos en su piel y, aunque sea un poco, recorrer el mismo camino que ellos se ven forzados a recorrer. Hemos aprendido a saber dónde mirar”. #MiradasQueMigran</a></p>

La violencia y las amenazas ponen en riesgo sus derechos y este juego educativo quiere reflejarlo y llamar la atención para dar protagonismo a sus voces y derechos. &#034;Estos días pensamos mucho en protegernos a nosotros y a los nuestros. Hay cosas que han cambiado, que hemos dejado y de las que nos hemos olvidado. Debemos acordarnos entonces de las migraciones forzosas, de esas situaciones que siguen existiendo y a las que no prestamos atención estos días, de las migraciones y de cómo afecta a las mujeres y las niñas. Poco se habla de ellas, que deben migrar poniéndose en peligro, viviendo situaciones de violencia y viendo vulnerados sus libertades y derechos. Rompe el silencio es un juego educativo diseñado en el marco del proyecto Miradas que Migran, que trata de acabar con las bocas cerradas, dar el protagonismo a mujeres y niñas que se merecen, hablar de ellas y dejarlas hablar. Consigamos todxs juntxs que puedan romper el suyo. Muchas ya lo han conseguido.&#034; #MiradasqueMigran</a></p>

<p>Así cerramos este curso escolar 2019-2020, pero el proyecto continúa. El próximo curso pondremos en marcha la quinta edición, y estaremos pendientes para poder organizar los eventos educativos y comunitarios presenciales realizados en cursos anteriores, para poder trabajar las creaciones del alumnado con personas, grupos y colectivos.&nbsp; Además, el proyecto continúa y no se agota, porque lo que pretende es crear un <strong>compromiso duradero</strong> de todas las personas implicadas con la realidad de las migraciones forzosas en el mundo, un reto global que va a seguir interpelándonos durante las próximas décadas.&nbsp; <strong>Seguiremos, por tanto, migrando la mirada.</strong></p>
