Dicho tejido puede compararse con un hermoso rebozo que sirve para cobijar lo m\u00e1s preciado, por ello, a dichos j\u00f3venes no les importa mucho quienes son los que lideran o cual sea el beneficio que obtengan; lo hacen porque les gusta, porque creen, porque saben que otras realidades son posibles y lo vuelven propio, lo vuelven sentimiento y protesta, magia y pasi\u00f3n. El rap dedicado a la naturaleza de Miguel \u00c1ngel Gonz\u00e1lez P\u00e9rez, de la preparatoria comunitaria de Tres Mar\u00edas, una instituci\u00f3n enclavada en el bosque, es s\u00f3lo un ejemplo:<\/p>\n
\u00bfY lo que en verdad es importante qu\u00e9?<\/p>\n
\u00bfLes importa una mierda o nadie lo ve?<\/p>\n
Es por lo mismo que en el pasado nos quitaron a 43.<\/p>\n
Pero bueno: yo vengo a hablar de naturaleza<\/p>\n
Y los 43 (refiri\u00e9ndose a los estudiantes normalistas de Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, todos ellos j\u00f3venes, que el 26 de septiembre de 2014 fueron desaparecidos por una red generada por el narcotr\u00e1fico en M\u00e9xico) fueron motivo de un mural que hace tambi\u00e9n referencia a la naturaleza y el arte en la Universidad Pedag\u00f3gica Nacional (UPN), sede Cuernavaca, en Morelos.<\/p>\n
Los j\u00f3venes (1 de cada 4 personas en M\u00e9xico tienen entre 15 y 29 a\u00f1os) est\u00e1n posicionados estrat\u00e9gicamente en una sociedad del conocimiento que crece a pasos agigantados. En una d\u00e9cada este sector de la poblaci\u00f3n ha tenido la posibilidad de aprender y enfrentarse, a trav\u00e9s de la tecnolog\u00eda, a una sociedad que los estigmatiza como improductivos, in\u00fatiles o peligrosos, cuando son ellos los que se atreven a imaginar lo inimaginable, a equivocarse y a enfrentar diversos obst\u00e1culos.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed, Nelson Castillo Alem\u00e1n, estudiante de la Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, del Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico Nacional, pudo dar a conocer la manera como \u201cfue hacia la gente\u201d para trabajar el proyecto \u201cV\u00edas de recolecci\u00f3n, transporte y parque vehicular de residuos s\u00f3lidos urbanos de Jojutla\u201d y compartir con estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Intervenci\u00f3n Educativa de la UPN, sede Galeana, tambi\u00e9n en Morelos, formas de intervenir en problemas ambientales. Todos ellos son j\u00f3venes de licenciatura, como lo son Lizbeth D\u00edaz, Rubicelia S\u00e1nchez y Manuel Gonz\u00e1lez, estudiantes de la Universidad Polit\u00e9cnica del Estado de Morelos, quienes, desde la pol\u00edtica p\u00fablica en M\u00e9xico, ofrecieron un panorama sobre las Energ\u00edas alternas y las finanzas en M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n
J\u00f3venes como Lily Deer o Joni Saganash del Dawson College que compartieron lo que se hace en sus naciones ind\u00edgenas, as\u00ed como tambi\u00e9n estudiantes de la licenciatura en Educaci\u00f3n Ind\u00edgena de la UPN- Cuernavaca, y las j\u00f3venes mujeres Chontales de Tabasco, representadas por Ana Rosa Rodr\u00edguez Luna y Eduardo L\u00f3pez Hern\u00e1ndez, investigadores de la Universidad Ju\u00e1rez Aut\u00f3noma de Tabasco.<\/p>\n
Todos ellos, los que estuvieron presentes en el foro y los que no, hicieron que nos comprometi\u00e9ramos como tejedores, artistas o artesanos que enlazan sue\u00f1os, proyectos y estilos de vida.<\/p>\n

Weaving networks<\/p>\n
We weave networks. Also we try and help others to do it with their tools, their talents, their own realities. Just as spiders or artists in their looms. Our purpose is not to look good in front of the scientific, political or artistic community; rather, it is to do what we like and link up to others to do the same: to take our schools, our (indigenous) peoples and nature as mentors.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, everywhere there are generous people willing to knit with or without us, especially young people, we witnessed this in the 2nd Bi-national Itinerant Forum: Art, Science and Tradition for Sustainability. In that space we observed how, with the resources they had at their disposal, young high school and undergraduate students questioned the established order so they could care for the social and environmental fabric weaved since ancient times.<\/p>\n
Such tissue can be compared to a beautiful shawl that serves to shelter that which is most precious, thus, these young people do not care much about who is leading or whatever benefit they could receive; they do it because they like it, because they believe, because they know that other realities are possible and make this reality their own, they render it feeling and protest, magic and passion. The rap dedicated to nature by Miguel Angel Gonzalez Perez, from the community college of Tres Marias, an institution nestled in the woods, is just one example:<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what about what is important, what about that?<\/p>\n
Does anyone give a shit or does no one see it?<\/p>\n
And that is why they took 43 from us<\/p>\n
But hey, I come to speak of nature\u201d<\/p>\n
And the 43 (in reference to the Ayotzinapa, student teachers from Guerrero, all of them youth that in September 26, 2014 were disappeared by a network linked to drug trafficking in Mexico) were the subject of a mural which also refers to nature and art at the National Pedagogic University (UPN), Cuernavaca, Morelos.<\/p>\n
Young people (1 in 4 people in Mexico are between 15 and 29 years) are positioned strategically in a knowledge society that is growing by leaps and bounds. Within a decade this sector of the population has had the opportunity to learn and confront, through technology, a society that stigmatizes them as unproductive, useless or dangerous, when it is they who dare to think the unthinkable, to err and face various obstacles.<\/p>\n
Thus, Nelson Castillo German, student at the National School of Biological Sciences, National Polytechnic Institute, let us know how he “went to the people” to work on the project “Routes for the collection and transportation of municipal solid waste in Jojutla” and he shared with college students, the majoring studying Educational Intervention at the UPN Galeana, also in Morelos, ways of carrying out environmental intervention. They are all young undergraduate students, just like Lizbeth Diaz, Rubicelia Sanchez and Manuel Gonz\u00e1lez, students of the Polytechnic University of the State of Morelos, who, offered an overview of the alternative view on Energy use in Mexico and its financing.<\/p>\n
Young people like Joni Saganash and Lili Deer from Dawson College who shared practices from their indigenous nations, as well as students of from the Indigenous Education program from the UPN- Cuernavaca, and the experience of Chontal women from Tabasco, represented by Ana Rosa Rodriguez Luna and Eduardo Lopez Hernandez, researchers from the Ju\u00e1rez Aut\u00f3nomous University of Tabasco.<\/p>\n
All those who were present at the forum and those who were not, made us commit ourselves as weavers, artists and artisans that weave dreams, projects and lifestyles.<\/p>\n
