.
It was an
extreme experience as I put in the title for several reasons that I happened to
share:
1. There was a
mixture between academics, local actors and leaders, where each from his
experience shared his own point of view and thus enriched the learning.
2.Construction
of horizontal relationships: Having as a participant an English teacher and at
the same time a leader of a peasant community, and that both share the same
table at lunch for example, symbolically represents the fact that there are no
hierarchies, but rather relations between pairs.
3. Get to know
teachers "sui generis" like Simon Best, who told me about his trips
around the world, and who is an open book and from whom you can learn a lot,
and how Simon so simply explained a topic sometimes complex like the Pitch, is
rare to see.
4. To know
people with such joy, who enjoy what they do, who do not conform, who generate
changes, as is the case of Adán, Juan
Fernando, Ana Milena, Javier, Sara, Andrés, to name a few examples.
5. Visit
experiences that fill your heart with hope when you see that people like those
who lead the Crisol organization in Las Colonias (Pereira), may have achieved
with mainly using a tool that in these modern times is in disuse: LOVE, and
give us He says that what we need to transform our lives and the lives of
others mainly revolves around that word, and that the rest comes in addition.
My special
thanks to Sara, Andrés and Javier for organizing this magical academic
adventure that I am sure has led each one of us to discover, rethink or
undertake new challenges, new dreams, new projects, and from now on, the hand
of this beautiful human group that inspires us to continue paddling to build a
less unequal and more supportive world.
