El dia comenzo con un simposio sobre Escuelas Vivas. Se dio una breve introducci\u00f3n a las actividades que se har\u00edan en el transcurso del d\u00eda y cada uno de los participantes presentes habl\u00f3 un poco de manera personal respecto a de donde vienen y cu\u00e1l es su proyecto.<\/span><\/p>\n Los participantes de hoy buscan motivar a las generaciones futuras a ser m\u00e1s creativas, a buscarle soluci\u00f3n a un problema ambiental y a proponer nuevas alternativas para mejorar el sistema. La mayor\u00eda busca encontrar un equilibrio entre sociedad, econom\u00eda y ambiente lo cual podemos decir que es la base de un desarrollo sustentable.<\/span><\/p>\n Tres Mar\u00edas es una escuela comunitaria, un tanto at\u00edpica y diferente a lo acostumbrado; Jorge Viana, Luisa Montes y Laura Hernandez nos hablaron de sus actividades incluyendo el taller de teatro y de c\u00f3mo los estudiantes intentan representar a los p\u00e1jaros y dem\u00e1s especies existentes en la biodiversidad de la comunidad pero curiosamente ellos jam\u00e1s han pisado un teatro y mucho menos han presenciado una.<\/span><\/p>\n Hablaron de su proyecto llamado plantas medicinales, este involucr\u00f3 alumnos, formando as\u00ed una comunidad preocupada e interesada por crear un proyecto sustentable. Realizar los proyectos fue un reto (dijeron) ya que no se contaba con el presupuesto y tuvieron que buscar el fondo para comenzarlos.<\/span><\/p>\n Luego de una pausa con un incre\u00edble men\u00fa…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Realizamos una din\u00e1mica con carteles para analizar los atributos y las pr\u00e1cticas de escuela viva. Se dio paso a la presentaci\u00f3n de ellos, donde cada equipo aport\u00f3 y explic\u00f3 sus ideas, sus posibles metas, visiones ante puntos como la educaci\u00f3n ambiental, los valores, el liderazgo en las instituciones, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n El simposio fue finalizado y se dio apertura a una presentaci\u00f3n por parte de la Dra. Ruth Belinda Bustos UPN, la cual trataba de la diversidad cultural en M\u00e9xico, la migraci\u00f3n de poblaciones ind\u00edgenas a zonas rurales y el programa de ense\u00f1anza de UPN para el medio ind\u00edgena. Se mencion\u00f3 que muchos de los alumnos han sufrido alg\u00fan tipo de discriminaci\u00f3n ya sea por su apariencia, su lengua el n\u00e1huatl o su ra\u00edz de origen el cual es ind\u00edgena.<\/span><\/p>\n Todos podemos aportar algo, como un manojo de ideas y creatividad, somos la base de todo proyecto exitoso.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We start the day! We were all tired but it was the good kind of tired, the kind where you wish you had an extra couple of days and better weather than\u00a0<\/span>yesterday.<\/span><\/p>\n The day started with a symposium on Living Schools. A brief introduction was given to the activities that would be done during the day and each one of the participants present spoke a little about where they came from and what their projects were.<\/span><\/p>\n It was interesting to get to know each one of the participants, many of them came from the same institutions but had different positions related to the topics explored in the forum, environment and sustainability; throughout the day we observed that this topic is quite broad because it can include different important points such as the social components, how to involve it and what strategies can be taken, how to encourage and raise awareness among people to take action and see a tangible result to obtain perhaps not a perfect planet but a better one.<\/span><\/p>\n Today’s participants seek to motivate future generations to be more creative, to look for solutions to environmental problem and to propose new alternatives to improve the system. Most seek to find a balance between the social, economic and environmental components which we can say is the basis of sustainable development.<\/span><\/p>\n Tres Mar\u00edas is a community high school, somewhat atypical and different from the usual; Jorge Viana, Luisa Montes and Laura Hernandez shared with us about the school and some of their projects such as the theater project. Students represent birds and other species existing in the biodiversity of the community but curiously they have never set foot in a theater nor seen a play. \u00a0They also presented their medicinal plants project. This project involved students, thus forming a concerned community interested in creating a sustainable project. Carrying out the projects was a challenge (they said) since they did not have the budget and they had to find funds to start them.<\/span><\/p>\n They want to connect with different projects to create an exchange of knowledge. They comment that it is interesting to see children of 5th and 6th grade coexisting and participating in the same activities, observing how their ideas contribute to one another and how they interact with each other on a topic as important as sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n After, a break with an incredible lunch menu …\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We continued the symposium with an activity where we used posters to analyze the attributes of a living school and how they can be put in practice. Each team contributed and explained their ideas, their possible goals, visions on environmental education, values, leadership in institutions, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n The symposium was finalized and Dr. Ruth Belinda Bustos from the UPN presented about cultural diversity in Mexico, the migration of indigenous populations to rural areas and the UPN teaching program for indigenous communities. It was mentioned that many of the students have suffered some kind of discrimination because of their appearance, their Nahuatl language or their ethnic roots, which are indigenous.<\/span><\/p>\n We can all contribute something, we are a cluster of ideas and creativity, we are the basis of any successful project.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/sustainable-campuses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/148\/y.png\")
Fue interesante conocer una parte de cada uno, muchos de ellos ven\u00edan del mismo lugar de trabajo pero ten\u00edan cargos diferentes a los temas tocados en el foro, que son el medio ambiente y la sustentabilidad; a lo largo del tiempo pudimos observar que este tema es bastante amplio ya que integra diferentes puntos importantes como lo es la parte social, el c\u00f3mo involucrarla y qu\u00e9 estrategias se pueden tomar, como incentivar y concientizar a la gente para tomar acciones y ver un resultado tangible para obtener un planeta quiz\u00e1s no perfecto pero por lo menos s\u00ed mejor.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/sustainable-campuses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/148\/n-1.png\")
Los profesores de la Escuela Primaria Cookshire nos presentaron sus esfuerzos para llegar a ser una Escuela Viva. \u00a0Nos presentaron un v\u00eddeo en el cual los alumnos participaban en una serie de actividades de educaci\u00f3n ambiental. Algunas de ellas es hacer la separaci\u00f3n de sus residuos, con el fin de inculcarles la importancia de saber distinguir en lo que puede ser regresado a la tierra como lo es la creaci\u00f3n de una composta, lo que puede ser reutilizado y convertirse en un beneficio propio o comunitario y que debe ser desechado definitivamente para ser manejado por especialistas.Ellos quieren conectar con diferentes proyectos para crear un intercambio de conocimientos. Comentan que es interesante ver a ni\u00f1os de 5\u00b0 y 6\u00b0 grado convivir y participar en las mismas actividades, observar c\u00f3mo aportan unos con otros sus ideas y c\u00f3mo interact\u00faan entre s\u00ed por un tema tan importante como es la sustentabilidad.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dawsoncollege.qc.ca\/sustainable-campuses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/148\/k.png\")

\nTeachers from the Cookshire Elementary school presented to us their efforts to become a Living School. They showed us a video in which students participated in a series of environmental education activities. Some of these include the separation of their waste, in order to instill the importance of knowing how to distinguish what can be returned to the earth as it is the creation of a compost, what can be reused and become a personal or community good and what must be definitively discarded to be handled by specialists.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
