The Enlivened Cooperative is a worker-owned, not-for-profit, eco-social learning organization. We are reimagining learning in support of people, grassroots communities and organizations with tools, practices and sensibilities to co-construct inter-cultural and ecological worlds. For us, this involves bringing together principles of cooperativism, biomimicry, inter-cultural learning and well-being. We organize ourselves as an eco-social learning cooperative, enlivening how and what we learn together and in places we are currently rooted. We also enliven learning by connecting our heads, hearts, hands and home, emphasizing joyful learning in and with diversity and our relationships.

La Red Mushuk Away orgánica y sincrónicamente ha ido configurando un tejido de relaciones y haceres donde se ha gestado natural y amorosamente una estructura organizativa y “metodología” de intercambio de saberes y experiencias, sobre una filosofía clara y profunda de co-crear alternativas a la educación, reconociendo, activando, fortaleciendo y revitalizando las formas de vida naturales, saberes ancestrales y las diversas formas de aprender y hacer cultura.

Nuestro proyecto es la co-construcción de “Yachay Away”, generado al principio como “Universidad de la Vida” y ahora como el Tejido de Sabiduría que transita todas las etapas de la vida. Es un encuentro constante de “sembradores, hacedores y soñadores”, desde los núcleos: Sierra norte, Sierra sur y Amazonía del Ecuador, donde se articulan las diversas posibilidades de aprendizaje mediante el mapeo de saberes, los viajes de aprendizaje, la construcción de espacios simbólicos y concretos de nuevas formas de co-existencia.

El Centro de Aprendizaje Comunitario “Construir Nosotros”, surge a partir del encuentro entre una diversidad de pensamientos e inquietudes, enfocados en formar redes de aprendizaje, descentralizar el conocimiento, reconocer distintas visiones y contextos, respetar la escucha, el habla y los saberes. Tenemos claro que el amor, el cariño y la amistad son pilares fundamentales en un contexto donde cada día se desgarra más el tejido social, lazos comunitarios y la conexión con la naturaleza.

The Germinator Grant has been used to cover a total of 150 hours of the administrator’s pay, which is roughly 21 days of work (7 hrs/day) not including any taxes or payroll fees. As EA Ecoversity Administrator, Krisha is responsible to create the initial EA Ecoversity infrastructure and operations in partnership with the EA Ecoversity Design Team and CEO. This includes but is not limited to: the application process for learners and mentors, learner requirement documents, website development, marketing materials, learner and mentor intake, community outreach, and building our EA Ecoversity Advisory Boards.
