In this
website, we present
the educational project of the indigenous people of the Highlands
region of Chiapas,
recognizing
that education can come and be organized from the heart of our people.
To
educate is to learn, which is to say, “to educate by learning.” We can
educate
students –who educate us- so that those of us who are in favor of life
can
educate each other mutually and so construct those many worlds of which
we all
dream. We can say that we know how to educate those who educate us,
that is why
our school is for the entire world and is why we say “for everyone
everything,
nothing for us.”
This is
the form of the
autonomy of our people, of our culture, and in this way we can recreate
the
different languages that have never existed for those who dominate,
while our
faces have been denied for being the color of earth.
Traditional
education, as it has
been up till now, has not understood that it can be synthesized in one
word,
which is REALITY or CONSCIOUSNESS-RAISING.
