Crowdfunding Campaign: Earth Nook on Donadora
This campaign was launched to secure funding to adapt the mobile playroom “Rincón de la Tierra”, creating “Rinconcito de la Tierra”. The funds raised will be used for the design and adaptation of content based on early childhood pedagogy and didactics, and will also support the design, implementation, and distribution of an environmental education program in three public preschools in Santa María la Ribera, Mexico City.
The Earth Nook campaign was active for 60 days with a goal to raise $95,000 pesos. The campaign closed with 58 donors supporting the project, exceeding the goal by 16% with a total raised of $109,846 pesos.

This guidance program is designed for organizations, groups and community agents from various territories and aims at broaching tools for investigative and collaborative surveying based on the publication Constellations, Manual of Tools for Collective Mapping. Due to its open participation format, these dynamics help communities who activate them to highlight their knowledge, detect problems linked to a territory and enable their graphic visualization, striving to provide support in the agency, autonomy and governance of groups and communities. This program is designed to follow three work phases which include a formative stage, a preparation stage and one for implementation.
The formative stage of the program was developed between July and August 2021, when 21 members from 9 organizations in 9 states met with the Iconoclasistas (Julia Risler and Pablo Ares) to learn about the tools to activate collective mapping in their own communities. Throughout the sessions the group delved into the different possibilities and strengths of mapping as a tool for community work.
