two months ago in March of 2017
the whole world knew that life
is better with a zebra a program
TV
invited to meet a challenge said that
could take any situation
uncomfortable or ugly but it increases a
zebra immediately becomes
something positive and pleasant
social networks began
fill of videos photos with our
zebras and in everything in situations
Policies in movie scenes
famous guides to the shootout dancing the
beautiful and the beast I will not jump
adapting his speech from behind the zebra
really people appropriated this
idea in a fantastic way throughout
the world certainly seemed to them as
curious did not find them funny but
Here peace
15 years ago that all of us
we know that life is better
a figure nine
I am here representing many
people who have participated and still
participate in the educators program
urban and to tell you as a
tool of a project of a
educational road program has reached
become a global phenomenon
the year 2001 peace owed a moment
very difficult in its urban history
we have a tremendous amount of cars
in the center of peace they could no longer
enter more cars and also
they identified that many people in the
city they did not know some rules
basic roads
then an integral work begins
a comprehensive vision with a road plan
that was looking for a vehicular rearrangement
from rules and restrictions but
that was accompanied by a program
educational
then a group of creative young people
who worked in the mayor’s office they were
happened the brilliant idea leads as
prove that there was the passage of zebra
many people did not know and therefore not
use the zebra crossing because no
I knew what it was for and I group you
Boys and girls decide good
really put a zebra in step
of zebra
that was his brilliant idea and the first
zebra was more or less like that he remembers
in a two-piece suit not a boy
front and one back that the only thing
did was to cross from one side to another the
people at first did not react
well he did not say chris stone or and the
they pushed they hit them in the back
the boys not the drivers
they tried to dodge and the stops are already
with the car
at this moment it is working
they said what is happening there there
to do something to make it something else
with the kids you have to give them a turn
you have to give them tools and it’s like that
as one of the people that was part
from the creative group a friend of mine
call and ask me to give them some
classes of corporal expression to
Boys
I am an actor and theater director I come
of a theatrical training enchanted me
I meet with the first 24 great guys
part of the project and heard them
I wanted to know what their experiences were
their experiences while we listen
in mind that after I needed a
Body expression workshop is a
been a containment space
emotional self-esteem because their
moods are on the floor the
We beat assaulted in the street
drivers did not want to start and the worst
the boys did not even have very clear
the idea of what they were
I am doing there wearing a suit I want
step
then after generating a process
of contention that is with the boys a
catharsis to be emptied we begin to
refocus the character we begin to
work the character already from a
clearly theatrical dramatic perspective
we understand the actions the objectives
of the character early in the mask
of the costumes but above all we
we focus on the purpose for this
shooting in the streets and that’s where
the concept of the urban educator emerges
the urban educator the zebras are in
the street to educate to improve the
habits of people and they are
they realize that the best way to improve
the habits was to inspire people
do better and that comes out of them and as
inspiration a person inspire being
best person being had a better
person and then we start working
the zebra spirit that created them
the boys themselves and how to support themselves
be heard collaborating is among them
every day before going out on the streets and
when they return from their shifts they meet
they share their experiences
frustrations your dreams between them
support is where the spirit arises
zebra and so they come out excited with new
ideas with new codes a new
language is already with a suit a lot
more similar to the one we know now from
two pieces begin to interact with
people start to lend more
attention to the zebras clear us
we are giving them theater tools
of dance comes the katya salazar lamas
zebra with all its dance line and its
spirit of collaboration
the boys are nourished by more
tools I remember perfectly
that we are some little routines in
the traffic lights
we had the 60 seconds of the traffic light
to do a small play
not with a clear message to people
I remember how the people in the
buildings looked out the windows of
the offices are doing down there
but these tangos the drivers already
they separated before the zebra crossing and
doing what they want to say and the
bystanders already participated in these
these routines more interactive with the
people and that’s where it starts to be born
the romance between the zebras and the city
because people adopt them they accept them and
He understands it is urgent or
particular situations not between
people and the zebras are already the people
those who begin to care for the zebras
any little problem a car that wanted
repeat a zebra to people to not
pass to the lady the peace to the low
regarding the zebra or the people the
to such an extent that lands no longer
belong to a management or to a
municipal government the works belong
because people have appropriated the
city has appropriated this project
and begins the year’s recognitions
2002 the municipal council appoints us
intangible heritage of the city of
peace to an isr would name later as
representatives and friends of childhood
we have been named characters of the year
last year we had maybe the
most important prize worldwide
we are one of the five most projects
innovators of the world
this award has been in uan her in china
and this prize was also accompanied
for another prize that has been the project
most voted online of the 15
projects that were selected on
most voted online towards the of the
zebras worldwide and who have
voted you people in peace without
need to do more promotion the
people are still coming through the networks
social networks and have begun voting for
zebras has been amazing because I
when I left here from peace towards
china we were in third place the
legacy and we were amazing first
the response of the people and clear in
these years they ask us what has
really changed the peace with the zebras
that is what has actually changed
the figures increase served the city or
only part of the urban landscape of the
city questions us people showed
a photograph is the pérez velasco
15 years ago the press always velasco
has been a gateway to the
city and the chaotic entrance door
already spare people drive from people going
or coming across the streets like
could and the cars dodging
people dodging the posts
laziness has been the main
places of intervention of the zebras
you must remember in the pérez no
it stops, it does not go up and it will go down
our campaign and we concentrated
in which people really respect the
stop points in the pérez velasco is
laziness today is an integral vision if
is a management vision of which
the zebras are part and fundamental part
today, the graphic press is
a door through a door
much more fluid the ordered city and
above all something very important
there is a corner in which people pass
by the zebra crossing
even when the acb is no longer present
and that’s true those subtle changes that
maybe we do not perceive them exist and
there are also other types of changes that
we have lived in the city are rhythms
more we have managed to get smile to the
people every day and especially children
not the children that are for us
our main allies we
they ask but good if and when they go to
see really changes then in people
ok the changes in attitudes are not
singles are not fast there are places in
the world they have had to go through
three generations so that the people
learn to use the belt
security
we have been 15 years but in these
fifteen years we have moved people
we were moved to the city
we have put allies of children and
the elderly in these 15 years
we have really contributed the colleges
that there are polls that prove it
they have also asked us what is the
the actual effect of the project itself
the city and we have done a survey the
52 percent of people by
example thinks that the most important role
the zebra is to educate and this for us
it’s capital because people recognize the
educational value of the zebra is not a
person in a suit promoting a
article is not the person with a
disguise doing pirouettes to be
recognized as an urban educator
nine out of ten people think that
if the cells disappear we will return to
our same habits
imagine there is so much cargo that is given
also our urban educators the
we associate with doing well and
correctly things the saw no longer
only brings the road plan
currently has a diversity of
themes in which we
we work and mine great percentage of
people who think that zebras
they should also work in schools
and in neighborhoods and that ‘s important because
We are doing silent work
in schools years ago with the
municipal citizen culture program
which lands are the main
representatives and we are changing the
habits of people little by little but
above all with love and respect
but beyond the numbers more
beyond the prizes
for me there is something essential in zebras
and it is what is inside the suit
she is amanda is one of the girls that
is with us from the beginning of
Program
amanda entered the zebras in a
very difficult moment of his life in the
that he really needed supported his mom
I did not have a job
he was born his younger sister them
they had scammed all the little money that
they had cheated them in a
restaurant street when the chuquisaca
I was having lunch with her mother one
social worker says there’s a
volunteer program youth
They give financial support for
food and the tickets for the nasa
and the boss did not hesitate anymore and when
the urban educators came to the program
found a family guys that the
they supported guys who helped that
overcome your problems that you already had but
especially that she falls in love with herself and
your city because this principal
spirit will be to love one
transmit that love and commitment for your
your city in these 15 years over
6,000 young people over 6,000 young people
who have gone through the program
urban educators is not a number
cold are 6 thousand model citizens who
they are out there engaged
with themselves and committed to their
city
someone told us some time and that
we need a zebra side so that everything
go well so that we behave well
it is not law to walk with your little zebra
I want challenge is to take the
zebra that we all have inside
if we are all a zebra and the idea is
that we allow ourselves to take that
best version of us
understanding that you can get to
better things and better results is not
of not from the collective not
necessarily from the norm and the
punishment but from love respect the
compassion and commitment for your city
is the best example that the
Boys
if they are still not convinced that
everything is better with a zebra and really
I invite you to look back and realize
that really everything can be better with
a saw
