Permanent Council of Coordination


In the form of organization that sustains our Network, without hierarchies or subordinates, the Permanent Council of Coordination is the intermediate step, the coordinating villagers that - more than their own communities - travel to other areas to accompany the journey, learn to replicate and support the initiatives of the local Coordinators with their presence.

In December we had the meeting of the Council to evaluate the year, review the roads traveled and propose solutions that we will all consider together in the General Assembly of the Network.

How gratifying are the re-encounters and the fruits of this community affection!


Isabel visits us


At the beginning of December we received the visit of Isabel Henao, Colombian librarian and reading animator of Comfama.

In their Manifesto of this year, they address the "About what, the why and the for what of COMFAMA libraries" and indicate: "We know that diversity is our greatest wealth and that to consolidate a conscious, free, productive and happy society, inclusive spaces are necessary, in which from the difference it is possible to build horizons for all, in which there is an exchange of identities, knowledge, ideas, ethnic groups, genders and generations. Places in whose center is creative drive, reflection, encounters, permanent listening and collective construction."

From that search, they have been trying to identify the forms of volunteering that could consolidate this path; That is why they asked us if they could visit our experience.

What a pleasure to be able to expand and grow in this immense dream that we humbly build.
