Sustainability that humanizes: three dimensions that transform poverty: We want people to get out of poverty. That is our truth. A certainty that we do not intend to stop stating in this way. At least we do not want to give up saying it, that is our food for the journey. But we also know that this enormous burden of hope and dreams contains a great challenge that has to be embedded in reality to find concrete ways of realization. We know that entering into the field of poverty itself is an exercise that requires all our energies; in many cases, work in contexts of vulnerability is frustrating and has huge rates of failure. We are also aware that around the world of poverty there are many interests (political, media, cultural, economic) that make it extremely difficult to trust the real human being before us, who is experiencing poverty, and that this conditions the proposal and the response to initiatives that seek concrete solutions. However, we fully believe that it is possible to initiate processes of change. We know this because there are many initiatives that have been successful (this inspires us), because we trust in the path we have taken through our own personal experiences of working in poverty, and because we have started a reflective process that resulted in a concrete proposal. The inequality gap continues to grow in the world, we do not need to reflect statistics since they are easy to find. But thinking specifically about Argentina we want to point out a particular characteristic that we will try to address: in many cases poverty is related to the countryside and the city. That is, the 2010 census showed that the rural population is the one that is growing the most in the country (in terms of birth rate) but since agribusiness significantly reduces the space for mobility and exploitation of the land, almost half of the peasantry must leave their homes to live in the outskirts of large cities, thus changing their lifestyle completely and becoming marginalized from society. This is the tragic fate that has been suffered by the majority of the country's poor. This is why we seek to respond to poverty in both urban and rural areas. We have become sensitive to both contexts, knowing that if we work in rural areas we help reduce the number of urban poor tomorrow. And we are also certain that addressing urban poverty is responding to the rural displaced of today, or of some past generations. Our approach will be through three dimensions that we consider key to providing effective solutions to the problem of poverty and misery: Governance, Circular Economy and Territory. We will develop them below. These three dimensions must be framed within a horizon of sustainability. That is, the processes that will be initiated have to be permeated by a strong imprint of durability, they have to be sustained over time. In this way, people will gain autonomy and stability. We feel that poverty dehumanizes and that getting out of poverty is recovering humanity. Discovering our humanity makes us less poor. Becoming more human offers us a horizon of remuneration in accordance with our aspirations. And fair compensation opens the doors for us to own what is ours, to be what we are. Mission "We build bridges so that people in vulnerable and poor situations incorporate skills that offer them alternatives for sustainability" Vision "That more and more poor people generate autonomy and management, building a better quality of life and greater happiness." Values The other is always an equal In the human being there is a potential that can always be developed There is poverty, not poor people Propose, always thinking that it is sustainable Accompany, as long as it is sustainable Intervene, only when it is ecological Cordial treatment and respect Work is always a team effort Always taking care of the environment in everything Aspects related to our way of proceeding It is important to state some situations that may arise along the way to sustain our identity. What "yes" and what "no"? YES Traditional construction Bioconstruction, ecological construction, and recycling. Formal education Technical and artistic training institutions. We coordinate with other entities. NO Give food Deliver clothes Providing medicines We do not provide machinery, tools, etc. if it is not framed within the project and the steps we indicate. We do not manage public assets from our office, we do it with the beneficiaries as our visible face. General guidance to take into account as triggers, to work with people, and that covers the three proposed dimensions. Our community, its ways of living and producing, our territory, our relationships with others, our history, and founding milestones of who we are and who we aspire to be. Threats or weaknesses of our life in the community (external and internal). What aspects of our community need to be improved, how can we produce better, and what aspects of our daily life are difficult or we cannot solve alone? What are our aspirations regarding the products we sell, what could we do together to improve this situation, and what implications do our economic transactions have with the territory in which we live? What do we understand by well-being, what aspects of our living in the territory do we value, and which do not? How could we achieve greater community well-being and strengthen our roots in our place?

Foundation For Environmental Education

Established in 1981, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is one of the world's largest environmental education organisations, with over 100 member organisations in 81 countries. At the heart of the FEE are our five programmes. Coordinated by the Head Office in Copenhagen and implemented by our members around the world, our programmes aim to bring positive change on a global scale: The internationally recognized Eco-Schools programme engages young people in quality environmental education and meaningful action. Through a seven-step framework, pupils are empowered and motivated to drive change and improve environmental awareness in their school, local community and beyond. Close to 50,000 schools around the world are part of the Eco-Schools programme. Learning about Forests (LEAF) advocates for outdoor learning and hands-on experiences, allowing students to connect with nature and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world. While the LEAF programme started with a focus on tree-based ecosystems, today it includes a diversity of ecosystems to foster skills and knowledge by exposing learners to outdoor experiences. LEAF is implemented in 28 countries. Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) is an award-winning programme that empowers young people to take an educated stand on environmental issues they feel strongly about and gives them a platform to articulate these issues through the media of writing, photography and video. Over 300,000 students engage in the YRE programme yearly. The iconic Blue Flag programme is one of the world's most recognized eco-tourism awards for beaches, marinas, and tourist boat operators. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained. Over 5,000 beaches, marinas and tourism boats are currently awarded. Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme. With more than 4,000 certified hotels and other establishments in 60 countries, Green Key is the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism and hospitality industry. With 40 years of impactful experience in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), FEE's strategic plan - GAIA 20:30 - prioritises climate action across all five programmes to address the urgent threats of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. FEE's Environmental Education Principles The member organisations of FEE have agreed upon these principles to guide our work towards excellence in EE/ESD: 1. Ensure that participants are engaged in the learning/teaching process. 2. Encourage participants to make reasonable decisions and actions on real life sustainability issues. 3. Encourage participants to work together actively and involve their communities in collaborative solutions. 4. Support participants to examine their assumptions, knowledge, and experiences, in order to develop critical thinking and to be open to change. 5. Encourage participants to be aware of cultural practices as an integral part of sustainability issues. 6. Encourage participants to share inspirational stories of their achievements, failures, and values, to learn from them and to support each other. 7. Continuously explore, test and share innovative approaches, methodologies, and techniques. 8. Ensuring continuous improvements through monitoring and evaluating are central focus of our programmes. FEE's overall Mission is to engage and empower people through education in collaboration with our members and partners worldwide.
