How do we do it

• Peacebuilding workshops allow educators, caregivers and social leaders to learn the theory about the different types of violence that affect children, youth and women in the communities. As well as the strategies and tools to prevent and address them.

• Under the name “Juntos Por Chocó”, a group of organizations, companies, artists, doctors and citizens have joined forces to support the communities of Chocó in order to transform the complex realities of the territory into projects that aim at sustainable development and well-being in the region, focusing on five lines of action: humanitarian aid, housing, health, creative industries and peace building through the arts.

  Promoted by TAAP Foundation, TECHO Colombia, Riaño Producciones, Carolina Guerra, Bloom, Spectrum Energy, the Colombian Aerocivil Patrol, Rotaract and Colombia Cuida Colombia together with a group of doctors and volunteers who participate in the workshops; This alliance has developed health workshops in Riosucio, Opogodó and Condoto, delivered humanitarian aid in 27 of the 30 municipalities of Chocó, built the UBUNTU community center, restored the Opogodo school and provided training in peace building and creative industries through the TAAP Foundation methodology to young people and educators in Condoto.

• The community accompaniment and strengthening proposal for Providencia has been developed by the TAAP Foundation with the objective of providing psychosocial attention to the families that were affected by Hurricane Iota in November 2020, so that they will be able to recover after the experience they lived during the natural disaster and be effectively linked to the recovery processes of the territory.

  The project places special emphasis on the care of children, youth, and young adults, combining social learning processes with group and individual therapies.

  In this way, it is expected to achieve the greatest possible reach without neglecting the in-depth attention of the cases that require it.

  The project is carried out in alliance with Colombia Cuida Colombia, TECHO and La Salle University.

• The objective of this program is to attend to migratory grief and train grassroots social organizations, local government representatives and NGOs that work with migrant populations in different territories, so that they can identify and attend to grief through the necessary tools to promote integration, prevent violence, xenophobia and aporophobia against migrants and returnees in the host communities.

  In order for migrants to integrate into host communities, they need to have the right support to understand what migration implies from an emotional, social and cultural point of view. This will enable them to understand what is happening to them and facilitate the integration process. IntegrArte, together with the authorities and grassroots organizations, generates and activates protection routes for the migrant population, especially for children, adolescents and women. These routes are aimed at protecting their rights and generating the necessary reception spaces so that they can carry out their regularization and integration processes. The program has a targeting and database analysis platform that allows authorities and organizations to know which migrants are most vulnerable, which families have received support and who require immediate attention, articulating the information to reach the population at risk. To date, this platform has registered and assisted more than 250 thousand Venezuelan migrants in Colombia.

• TAAP Foundation works in isolated populations and rural areas with high rates of violence, in many of these populations access to food, health services, supplies and services is limited and scarce, so the organization conducts humanitarian care days that allow the population to meet their basic needs before starting training programs.

  From TAAP Foundation, we know how important it is for a child and his family to have adequate nutrition, access to health and clean water, therefore we establish alliances with the Association of Food Banks of Colombia (ABACO), the Medicines Bank, the Colombian Air Patrol, Colombia Cuida Colombia, local governments and private companies in order to meet these pressing needs of the population.

• It has been designed to provide young people with tools that allow them to have another vision of their environment and their future, through the use of photography as a means to analyze and express their perception of different situations in their daily lives.

  With this, young people not only learn how to use a camera in its technical aspect, but also develop their analytical skills and find a way to show others through images how they see the world; at the same time they develop a new skill that allows them to generate income as photographers, photojournalists or artists, if they wish.

• In this innovation and awareness workshop to develop businesses, ventures and processes with positive social impact, we explore the possibilities for young people to become successful leaders and their influence in the global conversation as creative and innovative agents of change. To this end, we provide students with training on innovation, creativity and its use in learning processes and in the formulation of ventures with high social impact that generate alternative income for families, including activities such as sustainable tourism, gastronomy, creative industries, etc.

• This workshop has been developed to promote creativity in communities, educational centers and companies. Through artistic exploration activities, participants will be able to explore their creative potential and realize how creation can support their well-being and learning processes.

• This workshop provides participants with the tools, techniques and concepts to be able to use video and creative writing as a possible source of income by developing the skills that will enable them to produce videos for events, corporate videos and music videos. Or go into content writing and production. The workshop has been developed mainly so that young people and female heads of household have the opportunity to develop a trade that does not require full-time dedication.

• In this workshop, leaders of social organizations, social entrepreneurs and public policy makers will explore different innovation and collaboration methodologies to generate social impact.

• Communication is a fundamental element to generate development. In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of the use of communication for social change.
