Aimed at people concerned about inequalities and with vocation, who seek to build networks for the creation of community strategies for social action.


Activities & Shift

We want you to get involved in the mutualist pedagogy research and training process through participation in the ongoing laboratory of contemporary pedagogy, including the following:

- Research activities, reading and analysis of texts, writing texts and collaborative essays, activities in the surrounding area such as recognition and walks in the historic center of Mexico City.
- Activities and laboratories of creative, artistic, and inhabiting exploration.
- Collaborate in administrative activities: brainstorming and concepts, sketching and creating designs for social media channels.
- Teamwork, helping manage educational and artistic projects and forging future partnerships.
- Expanded records such as essays, expanded writing, videos, photographs for academic, artistic, and research publications.

We will organize weekly to distribute the hours of work and activities so that you have enough time to know the city.


Rules

We will be cohabiting the space, so of course we can share experiences and give you recommendations on how to live your stay in Mexico City to the fullest.

- We separate the waste; you will see in the bin two bags, each assigned for organic and inorganic waste; we also have compost.
- Of course you can use the common areas of the dining room, TV room and kitchen; we only ask you to keep the space tidy.
- The refrigerator has a space assigned for you, so you can bring your foods and prepare them here; of course you can use all the cooking utensils, just remember to keep tidy.
- It is not allowed to invite external people to the volunteering unless there is some activity open to the public, a specification that we will make in each organized activity.
