I want to share briefly about
the importance of education in a
country like guatemala and we do the
question about whether they work or the system
education that has guatemala
I have dedicated the last 13 years of
my life to investigate and analyze
that’s precisely the only thing that has
realized that it is not a system that
maintains and that promotes and that generates
things as well as statistical results
for purposes that are not really useful
for the person in this case for the
girls and for the children of my country
ten years ago
the intention was to work from my
neighborhood colony because when
presented in a neighborhood colony
like neighborhoods and neighborhoods of
guatemala voice with children when they are
children what you want to have fun believe
have access to happy things and in a
country like ours the crime
organized the drug and so much thing the
violence and everything that bothers us
the media the system
from control oppression fear you
become invisible to the point that the
thousands and thousands of young men and
Guatemalan women do not have the least
idea of what you can do with your lives
when the majority comes of age
system well very complicated because 18
years remain invisible and demand
the 18 years will start to be productive
and you have no idea how
do what
– if you come from the periphery and less
results public system that does not
responds to your immediate needs
there the idea of the patojos arises when
was child
in that colony was unhappy I had two
public school safe spaces
because fortunately they could school
public where I learned nothing if not
I was sure because I was inside and the
second school the street
That’s where I trained and I follow
forming part of the autodidact of
the self-training that we are
promoting as citizens
responsible when they will teher a country
that you ask, you saw the country
as in 83
ten years later I realized the
country I did not want a country if I did not
like
I love my country I am giving my life to
improve it but I do not like how I
they delivered
they gave it to me violently they gave it to me
aggressive they gave me corrupt me the
got it here it is discriminated all
days the skin colors
here they separate or join here do not you
dignifies the person and if the system
education of my country does not dignify the
person
I can not be part
I do not want to be a part and it’s useless
have your training processes
academic if in the end your dignity and
opportunity to be free is not
allows patojos we are dreams and
ideas in action dreams and ideas in
action from the street facing us
the systems where they take me out because
they are very uncomfortable because he asked a lot
in college I was expelled is
studying clinical psychology and I
they expelled because he asked a lot
ten years ago I went back to my neighborhood and
I realized that with friends
with which I grew up I was not
some were lost forever others
they are invisible and others we already know
the story a lot of drugs crime
organized unemployment and good dreams
truncated and one more statistics
more numbers
then I felt something internal already had
my work I already had already knew
exactly what food clothes to wear
create or raise that was going to end
I already had an agenda of my next 50
years and what is in my account that the
country needed at that time
different proposal
I started to know different parts of the
country trip with the idea that I was going to
assault what to do violent and I did not put
my guitar went and it did not happen
absolutely nothing and started to
question nor there comes the first
element the duck rhythm in question before
all the generation of a question from
collective responses from a
free diverse and creative dialogue in
where the colors smells
textures are all the same where you no longer
it matters where you come from and what you have
it does not matter where you go and what you can get
to be this country is a beautiful country and
We can not tolerate generators
opinion saying that it is not
of course he has deficiencies and
one is the education system and that is what
I come to talk about that, we have to reform it
already and you have to establish methodologies
alternatives where the person can
make the sole responsible for their own
history
it is not the same to be in jocotenango that
will be in the city and that will be in
nebaj to mathematics education not
respects diversity does not respond
our homeland
and everything for example the talk goes from
drug
the question of violence the
family breakup I hate the
discrimination
economic ethnic social
that ‘s what he has to offer to the
children and girls while it’s going well
I told my parents that I needed
the garage of my house had once
renounced everything established and from
there he will start working on me
colony ten years ago my goal was
transform my colony and build a
space where boys and girls
had the opportunity to be
precisely girls and boys
we started with 35 and we were rescuing the
colony and we were learning
collectively and we realized that
when he said the word study
children from there I realized that what
first that the girl and the boy
they communicated in which they were sad and
they were hungry and they are sick
If the system does not offer you access to
food and health security
It’s no use if you go to study
participate in the educational process in that
country the budget for many children
of one who chalco 11 cents
although it goes to schools when the
education becomes a privilege
we have presidents like the ones we have
now problems and that is not fair and not
it’s okay we should build a
consistent and responsible process from
the past without repeating it but with the
feet in the present and see the future
I do not come to give a talk where I
victimized and I will criminalize the
history of my country
I come to talk to you about the
importance of activating them daily and
do everything we can do to
our favor so that collectively
we are rebuilding the dignity and
Hope in the neighborhoods in the streets
in the villages in the squares of the
municipalities so that it is understood
Finally, Guatemala is the heart
of Latin America can be him
bridge that connects intellectually
these two parts of the continent and not the
bridge that connects negatively and
which is useful for our young people
go the system has failed them not
they have another option
then we did something we went
building a small space
little kid then I took my dads from the
house playing the whole house and less than a
year we already had 150 participants and
we started making improvisations
experiments errors questions touching
doors ridiculous rejections
to me it has always put me being
ridiculous in points like this
while the ridiculous I am more
invite these points
everything that has been taken away and what you
have both said do not use it
we use in our favor
the body the voice the experimentation the
improvisation and the heart softens
there’s nothing more beautiful than talking about
your heart
about what you love the duck
hisma now is no longer an idea they are a
lots of actions collectively
where the educations and the others
feelings includes but there is theory
structure to experimentation and registration
aip seriously because they are more than 450 the
participants and participants that
daily a lot of little things that come
from a neighborhood that was criminalized
red dot complaining ironic oac
I come from a red dot and I’m in a
red dot and dream that all children
and girls in the country can leave their
red dots and come to these fruits
red because it is possible and not because
given we can not make ten years of
rejection and organized struggle not
negatively on and those issues of
fight a collective struggle where more
of 40 Guatemalans and Guatemalans
young self-taught crazy artists
dreamers nurses doctors chefs
of all dancers we all got together
we made a good circle let’s
enter the country hard and we will create
a methodology that the country can
offer the montessori method to the world
waldorf atom etc.
we have the ability
intellectual to create our own
educational method that responds to each
context and to each space in your country and
it is possible to do it and you do not need to go to
the u after doing it you are communicating and
You need to learn to let go when
one is public servant life no longer
belongs to one belongs to the
people in this case in my case
belongs to children
we create clinics dining centers
cultural and at this moment there are some
photos that have no order because to me
I like if at this moment that
they’re fine they were not what this country
he needs to inject in the streets
the joy the hope and the honor the
total ability to say this country
need but right now and I can do
anything while more things
positive try to make everything better
everything will work brings all makes
this process hope for the country
exist at this moment we are having
hungry children and young people who are
crossing the border and all the
problematic that we know we are not
lucky to be here sharing
ideas because that is also very
important and it’s valid to rebuild
the processes but when you leave here
we have to go where it belongs to us
and activate from our strength
we had to leave the country
to go to convince that our system
It is effective and we return to the country
for eight and a half years to do it
he also said less to Iván Pérez in the
another year I said ‘good if these guys
they want us to build a school
we are going to build the best school
and that we did as organized work
management and rich and we achieve we are going to
look for the most dangerous place in the
municipality and there we will go to build
we will show the school to the
people that where everyone thought that
there was never going to be anything and there was always
been directed to be negative
we are going to transform and we are going
to take to a beautiful and worthy place
everyone wants to be and we did
we rescued the red light district was a
garbage dump and now it’s the street of the
patojos we have a lioness school but
has everything and we are discovering
ways to enter with our system
pathology not to the current system and
inconvenience teachers and ours
this country is not generating educators
and educators struggle to spend twenty or
thirty years for them to be
replaced the teachers who are
now he is 50 years old
imagine that boys and girls
at this time and have interested in the
rich has the technology and the
information everywhere can not
sit down and you can not tell him there will be
danger and with Madrid petals more than
one brings out voice eyes you have to find
proposals like youth los patojos les
like it or not it’s working and we’re
taking to guatemala platforms
important reconstruction
pedagogical and it’s not an education without
it’s a community reconstruction and
rebuilding your country is a heroic act
and in this case I’m not the one who
build what rebuilds are the 450
boys and girls every day
they win their own battles and have their
own struggles and know that they do not take
expired that has the clarity that
finally in that municipality there is a
space where they can experience and
make mistakes and learn that the error is
the first step for many things and a
bunch of pretty southern philosophies and
from the north and the west
german waves and metamos of the patojos and
let’s do it for the whole camera to
all the people
moms dads and christian grandparents
fat gay white dwarf indigenous
skinny I do not care about human beings that
they need to dignify themselves and systems that
dignify them in that is the rhythm duck
It’s not an NGO that helps poor children
it’s not a welfare program it ‘s a
collective effort and recovery of
dignity through processes
consequential of education and we are not going to
give up until this country
have at least 100 centers of the
patojos and make 3 to 6 years
they made fun of me and everything
we did and it’s okay because I prefer
make laughter and teasing tears
screams their tickets more teasing and laughter
there is better each month each year each stage
it is strengthening
multipliers and multipliers
of the duck gitmo of that beauty and that
hope of our childhood that is
present strong that when they are
sitting there they will understand why
they’re sitting and they’re not just going to
sit because they invited girls and
children who are going to change guatemala that
are transforming Guatemala and how
we say here in Guatemala without much
casaca and there come the dreams ideas
in action to speak to who you of that
It is an opportunity to make visible the
girls from my country of Latin America and
of the world
today we need free children and
worthy and we have to do it so
we have a lot of work to do
that the childhood of guatemala live in
Latin America thank you very much
