Self-production and community strengthening

Self-production and community strengthening

Following the completion of the community training center in Bahtzel, workshops were held with the community for the maintenance of the facades. Different options were explored until the most suitable one was found, always considering local needs and balance with the natural environment.

At the same time, 31 people, including women, men and children, participated in sessions on the use and maintenance of dry toilets. Knowledge about waste management and the composting process was shared, ensuring its proper functioning in the long term. Likewise, infographics were distributed in Tseltal, facilitating the understanding of each step and its integration into daily life.

Each of these actions reaffirms the importance of building collectively, strengthening the exchange of knowledge and the roots of solutions adapted to the territory.

“With the participants we reflected on the importance of tequio, since it is a legacy of a way of working through generations that allows each member of the community to express themselves and be an active participant in making decisions and actions for the common good of the community” (field manager)

Autoproducción y fortalecimiento comunitario

Tras la finalización del centro de formación comunitario en Bahtzel, se llevaron a cabo talleres con la comunidad para el mantenimiento de las fachadas. Se exploraron distintas opciones hasta encontrar la más adecuada, siempre considerando las necesidades locales y el equilibrio con el entorno natural.

 

Paralelamente, 31 personas, entre mujeres, hombres e infancias, participaron en sesiones sobre el uso y mantenimiento de los baños secos. Se compartieron conocimientos sobre el manejo de residuos y el proceso de compostaje, asegurando su buen funcionamiento a largo plazo. Así mismo, se distribuyeron infografías en tseltal, facilitando la comprensión de cada paso y su integración en la vida cotidiana.

 

Cada una de estas acciones reafirma la importancia de construir en colectivo, fortaleciendo el intercambio de saberes y el arraigo de soluciones adaptadas al territorio.

 

“Con los participantes reflexionamos sobre la importancia del tequio, ya que es un legado de forma de trabajo a través de generaciones que permite a cada miembro de la comunidad expresarse y ser partícipe activo en la toma de decisiones y acciones para el bien común de la misma” (responsable en campo)
