[[en]]During the week of exploration Junieth visited the streets of the Vieja Libertad neighborhood, where many of the workshop participants were born and raised and are now students on artistic, administrative, social or business career courses. In the neighborhood you don't see children playing freely in the streets, but rather they seem to be trapped in their two-story houses shared with other families and built of asterilla, small lengths of bamboo.

[[en]]Imagina dreams of Colombians having equal opportunities for education as well as access to higher education. As the week went on, other places of influence were identified for the mobile school to serve children and adolescents in three neighborhoods stigmatized by poverty and drug use. It will be a tool to connect with out-of-school children to show them other opportunities through play and raise their self esteem o let them choose what do they want in life. The mobile school has already been used and tested in the Colombian streets for many years, but not in Armenia.  Now there is a high possibility that Imagina will become a partner of the mobile school network in South America. We will see how the story continues...
