"La Carpio" Community
Community, the largest bi-national community (Costa Ricans and Nicaraguans) in the country, to have an encounter with the collectives and organizations that have a presence in the community, to listen to the difficulties and challenges they face, but in particular to learn about the self-management and development initiatives for this community that continues to be stigmatized but also recognized for its ability to search for collective alternatives.
"Río Azul"
Community, meeting with emerging movements led by people from Nicaragua, visiting various workspaces of the groups and specific spaces for dialogue and exchange of experiences. We will know the experiences of their struggles, their challenges, and their opportunities. Among the emerging movements are feminist collectives, women domestic workers, and the defense of LGTBIQ+ rights.
