Hoy, 14 de septiembre de 2016, han dado inicio las actividades del simposio por la paz, evento organizado por Peace Centre de Dawson College en Montr\u00e9al Canad\u00e1.\u00a0 El eje tem\u00e1tico es la restauraci\u00f3n urbana como facilitadora de la paz.<\/p>\n

Vaya tema, hace falta pensarlo, analizarlo, conversarlo, polemizarlo y comprenderlo para emplearlo como una herramienta que nos de nuevos rumbos para recuperar, encontrar, impulsar, buscar, adquirir o construir la paz que queremos. Iniciamos conoci\u00e9ndonos sin palabras, porque no siempre hacen falta, luego nos fuimos a recorrer el jard\u00edn de las tres hermanas, un espacio donde se cultivas semillas que luego son ofrecidas como apoyo para el sustento de quienes m\u00e1s lo necesitan<\/p>\n

Nos fuimos al jard\u00edn por la paz, lo recorrimos sin prisa, con ojos avispados y o\u00eddos atentos, nos llovi\u00f3 un poco, y tambi\u00e9n nos hizo aire, pero s\u00f3lo era para que \u00c9olo y Tlaloc tambi\u00e9n disfrutaran el paseo, seguro que se enorgullecen de tal espacio. Hicimos muchas preguntas, como debe ser, por fortuna Cindy Elliot\u00a0 y Jenn De Vera eran las gu\u00edas.<\/p>\n

Era momento de conocer un proyecto de restauraci\u00f3n urbana en M\u00e9xico, de eso se trata esto, de compartir, as\u00ed que Jessi Vergara, estudiante de UPN Cuernavaca, nos comparti\u00f3 su experiencia de intervenci\u00f3n en el jard\u00edn de ni\u00f1os \u201cH\u00e9roes del 47 en Tepetzingo Morelos\u201d. Fue un momento por dem\u00e1s interesante y emotivo, la escuchamos con mucho agrado y le preguntamos con m\u00e1s agrado porque ella nos respond\u00eda a todo con la emoci\u00f3n a flor de piel. Sin duda ver a los j\u00f3venes en acci\u00f3n es motivante y esperanzados simult\u00e1neamente.<\/p>\n

Al medio d\u00eda nos enfrentamos a un reto, crear un espacio para los insectos, son ellos tan importantes que no podemos sino atenderles con h\u00e1bitats que favorezcan su bienestar y el por supuesto el nuestro por a\u00f1adidura, as\u00ed surgi\u00f3 la idea de construir el \u201cInsect Resort\u201d para las especies de insectos que deseen hospedarse en Dawson College. Parec\u00eda una tarea tit\u00e1nica a las 2 de la tarde, pero bien motivamos y trabajando colaborativamente, a las 5 de la tarde ten\u00edamos el prototipo listo, el reto ahora es tenerlo listo el pr\u00f3ximo viernes 16, al ver la respuesta del equipo, estoy segura de que lo conseguiremos.<\/p>\n

Para finalizar el d\u00eda, escuchamos a la Dra, Samantha Nutt, fundadora del programa \u201cWar child Canada\u201d quien con la palabra presta, con la experiencia al hombro y la voluntad por carta de presentaci\u00f3n, nos habl\u00f3 de las realidades que muchas veces no queremos ver, justamente para verlas, para no hacer caso omiso y asumirnos como agentes de cambio con todo lo que ello implica. Ya es tiempo<\/p>\n

Si esto fue el primer d\u00eda\u2026 \u00bfqu\u00e9 suceder\u00e1 ma\u00f1ana?. Yo, ya estoy m\u00e1s que lista para saberlo.<\/p>\n

Gracias al equipo organizador encabezado por Diana Rice, y por el gentil apoyo de Gisela Fr\u00edas para hacer que el idioma no sea un l\u00edmite para participar.<\/p>\n

Symposium for Peace- Day 1 \/ Urban Restoration- Dia 1<\/p>\n

By: Luisa Montes<\/p>\n

Translation by Gisela Frias<\/p>\n

Today, September 14, 2016, the activities of the Peace Symposium have began, organized by the Peace Centre of Dawson College in Montreal Canada. The central theme is urban restoration as a facilitator of peace.<\/p>\n

What a theme, you need to think, discuss it, and critically analyze it to understand and to use it as a tool that can give us new directions to recover, find, promote, search, acquire or build the peace that we want. We began by getting to know each other without words, because there these are not always needed, then we went for a tour of the Three Sisters Garden, a space where seeds are cultivated and then offered as support for sustaining\u00a0 those that need it the most.<\/p>\n

We went to the Peace Garden, we walked unhurriedly, with shrewd eyes and ears. It rained a bit, and it was a bit windy\u00a0 but it so that Aeolus and Tlaloc would also enjoy the walk, I am sure they take pride in such space. We asked a lot of questions, as it should be, fortunately\u00a0 Cindy Elliot and Jenn De Vera were our guides.<\/p>\n

It was time to learn about a project of urban restoration in Mexico. This is what it is all about, sharing, so Yessi Vergara, student at the UPN Cuernavaca, shared her experience of intervention at the “Heroes of 47 kindergarten in Tepetzingo Morelos” . It was a moment not only interesting and also emotional. We listened with pleasure and asked questions with even more pleasure as she answered us expressing her obvious emotion. Definitely, to see see youth in action is both exciting and hopeful.<\/p>\n

At noon we faced a challenge, to create a space for insects. They are so important that we can not but try to provide for them habitats that favor their welfare and of course ours. That is how the idea of building an “Insect Resort ” for different insect species wishing to stay at Dawson College came about. It seemed a daunting task at 2 pm, but with motivation and working collaboratively, at 5 in the afternoon we had the prototype ready. The challenge now is to have it ready this Friday 16, to see the team’s response, I’m sure we will succeed.<\/p>\n

At the end the day, we listened to\u00a0 Dr. Samantha Nutt, founder of the “War Child Canada” program who with her whit, experience and willingness, told us about the realities that often do not want see. She urged us to just to see them, not ignore them and to become agents of change with all that this implies. It’s time.<\/p>\n

If this was the first day … what will happen tomorrow ?. I am more than ready to see it. Thanks to the organizing team led by Diana Rice, and the kind support of Gisela Frias to make sure that language is not a limitation for us to participate.<\/p>\n
