Schools in Spain
The Amazon Guardian Schools Network in Spain offers educational and awareness-raising activities on interculturality, climate justice, biodiversity, Indigenous peoples and the responsible use of technology.
Schools can take part through year-long or term-long classroom projects, one-off workshops, teaching resources, talks, storytelling sessions and educational exchanges. Where possible, video calls and meetings with participating communities in the Amazon are also arranged.
Each school can get involved according to its own situation and possibilities, becoming part of a network based on mutual learning, cultural respect, cooperation and care for life.
The schools in the Network are currently in Catalonia; the invitation is open to primary and secondary schools anywhere in Spain — and in any country in Europe — that would like to walk with us.
REGA (Red de Escuelas Guardianas de la Amazonía, the Amazon Guardian Schools Network) was formally established in 2017, after several years of voluntary work alongside Indigenous peoples.
This experience shows that intercultural education, across borders, can become a transformative tool for raising awareness, strengthening identities, building lasting bonds and promoting global citizenship.
