Colombia: Fundacion Talento 21

About the local hosting organization

We are a non-profit organization that provides educational services to both the public and private sectors, offering approaches based on alternative pedagogies, flexible models, and innovative teaching strategies. Our aim is to strengthen teaching and learning processes and contribute to the realization of the fundamental right to quality education. As part of our commitment to quality education and social integration, we have developed a pedagogical approach that combines environmental, scientific, artistic, and multicultural perspectives within a small farm setting. We create experiential learning laboratories for children, where regenerative education practices promote the principles of circular economy and permaculture
