We employ a methodology of popular education, focusing on the integral formation of participants in their emotional and spiritual growth, as well as their growth as citizens able to analyze their reality and act for positive change
On Sunday, November 21, Cantera Community Center in Ciudad Sandino hosted its fourth annual Convivencia de Jovenes (youth gathering) with the slogan, “I can and should make the difference to say no to violence.”Every year, Cantera youth programs gather together in Ciudad Sandino for a day of expression, celebration, and formation. Coordinated and hosted by youth, the conviviencia creates a space for all Cantera expression groups to share their talents while joining together to discuss violence and create a culture of peace.
This year, youth from 4 Cantera community centers filled Ciudad Sandino’s main plaza to enjoy the day’s events of soccer, dance, karate, live music and theater. The day started with a soccer tournament for both men and women’s teams and ended with a concert put on by Cantera bands with all different styles of music. In between, the stage filled with spectators watching karate exhibitions, theatrical performances written, directed, and acted out by youth, and the many dance groups that performed folklore, Caribbean dances, and break dance. Emceed and run by Cantera Ciudad Sandino and MOJUV youth, the event’s theme of nonviolence and creating a culture of peace was a focal point of the day.
