Environmental scientist and anthropologist, with a master’s degree and postgraduate studies in African societies, culture of peace and international cooperation, I firmly believe in the power of knowledge, exchange and networking between people. The world needs to be turned around, and CEHDA is one of the places where I have found space to put my effort. What I enjoy most is running workshops with children and young people, when ideas are free and logic is clear, and the system has not yet formatted thought.

Founding member of CEHDA, an international organisation based in Barcelona and Ghana. He is a social worker and intercultural mediator with more than 20 years of professional experience in migration, human rights, ancestral knowledge and community development in Ghana’s Savannah Region, Europe and North America. He leads and manages the organisation in collaboration with cross-border NGOs, coordinates funded projects and promotes research and practice partnerships with universities. He has solid experience in migrant integration, indigenous education, agroecology, language revitalisation and participatory development. He has also developed a broad career as a speaker, trainer and author. His responsibilities include assessing needs in rural communities in the Savannah Region and designing projects adapted to local priorities, as well as supporting the development of housing, resettlement and migrant integration programmes through agroecological training farms in Barcelona.

Born in Les Corts in 1985, she holds a degree in Political and Administrative Sciences, specialising in international relations, and a MIM Master’s in Inter-Mediterranean Mediation. I have developed my professional career in project management in different organisations working for Global Justice, as well as in the internationalisation of Catalonia with the Department for Foreign Action, at the Delegation in North Africa based in Tunis. Excel geek, grassroots culture and neighbourhood politics activist, polyglot, anti-fascist by nature, and happy to work with an organisation that fits my values and works locally and internationally for the dignity of people and their land.

I have developed my professional career in the field of migration, both in research and social intervention. A sociologist by training, with specialised training in community mediation, and as a result of new professional challenges, in recent years I have entered the world of agroecology. I believe in the revolution of small things and, as Eduardo Galeano reminded us, “many small people, in small places, doing small things, can change the world.” I feel grateful to be part of an organisation that combines closeness to the people we work with and a firm commitment to human rights.

My background is quite varied, as are the challenges of the area where I work. I have worked in agroecology and have technical training in electricity and renewable energy. I also have a strong interest in languages. I like being part of a project where this versatility is more of a value than a flaw, and where I can put these small skills at the service of the struggle for global justice.

Anthropologist with training in ethnographic research, anthropological theory and intercultural relations. Experience and learning in intercultural education, human development, environmental conservation, climate change and traditional knowledge of the indigenous peoples of Abya Yala invite me to keep discovering new paths. But not everything is philosophy and science. Music, cooking, stories and other arts of the peoples have a strong power of attraction and invite me to share concerns and experiences. In this way, I feel very comfortable being part of an organisation with which I can share values and work for the dignity and human rights of people.

I was born in Valladolid in 1992. When the time came to go to university, we were in the middle of an economic crisis and I became interested in economics, so I decided to study Business Administration. I soon realised that I did not like or agree with many of the things taught there, so I later decided to specialise by studying a master’s degree in Non-Profit Organisations, as I felt I would not be comfortable working in any other type of organisation. Since 2017, when I finished the master’s, I have worked in several associations as an administrator and managing accounting, feeling that although my work is office-based, I help make social projects function.

I studied up to secondary school and then completed vocational training in IT maintenance and networks. In Senegal I was active for many years in the associative life of my city and region through secular scouting, serving as a territorial leader. As a result of an international project, in 2006 I had my first contact with Catalonia. I arrived in Catalonia at the end of 2024, and life led me to discover the CEHDA association, which works for development, social well-being and freedoms. My work consists of taking care of the animals at two farms in Barcelona: Can Cadena and Can Mestres. As Thomas Sankara said, “Social justice must be the main objective of every society.”
