At CEHDA, we believe in education as a tool for social transformation. That is why, for years, we have been organising workshops, talks, exhibitions, discussions, film forums, fairs and any other activities that can help change perspectives and make the world a little better for everyone who lives in it.

Our audience is diverse: we work with primary schools, secondary schools, vocational training centres, adult education schools, AFAs, universities and citizens in general.

We defend the right to migrate, and we do so together with people who can explain first-hand the difficulties involved in exercising this right.

We are committed to appealing to everyone’s shared responsibility for change, building networks and offering alternatives in the way we relate to one another and to the land, in order to turn around a model based on the plundering and exploitation of people and resources.

PROJECT: Glocal Migro-Environmental Tandem

Diverse role models leading socio-environmental transformation among citizens, from an anti-racist perspective and with a gender and human rights approach

This is a project that brings together different actions we carry out in the field of Global Justice and Social Transformation.

The project aims to contribute to a sense of shared responsibility and migro-environmental awareness in the host society by creating spaces for critical reflection, together with diverse people, on the causes of migratory movements, human rights violations in countries of origin and internalised racism.

We organise training sessions for migrant people linked to different organisations so that they can become diverse role models and active agents in future educational interventions in classrooms.

We provide training for students, teaching teams and families in Catalan educational centres on interculturality and from a decolonial perspective, in order to value other worldviews, dismantle stereotypes and facilitate contact and knowledge through diverse educational role models.

We facilitate training sessions to open school gardens to neighbourhoods together with AFAs and to broaden migro-environmental awareness among citizens.

We support young students in the creation of audiovisual materials addressing issues related to the global consumption model in the Global North, as well as the impact of dominant economic and commercial systems on lives in the Global South.

We carry out training sessions on the right to migrate and on socio-environmental interconnections with university students in Catalonia.

We take part in political advocacy activities in different Catalan cities and across Europe, and we organise and facilitate international webinars for knowledge transfer and the exchange of good practices.

PROJECT: Improving food security and the human right to water and sanitation for the population of Inhambane through the empowerment of peasant women.

This is a project we carry out with Engineers Without Borders (https://esf-cat.org/), in which, through the exhibition “Local struggles linked to global realities”, we run workshops in educational centres and public facilities such as libraries and civic centres, connecting the struggles for global resilience of African women from Ghana and Mozambique.

PROJECT: MigrArt

The MigrART project offers a space for intercultural encounter and collective solidarity-based artistic expression, where we work on the right to migrate and human rights through testimonies from migrant people accompanied by traditional artistic expressions and a series of activities that awaken the group’s creativity to find local actions to dismantle xenophobic, racist and sexist discourses.
