This project started out as two separate proposals. Juliana [ES] and Jorge [ES] had set out to do a number of new media training workshops in collaboration with an outreach initiative (.doc) of Medellín’s public library system.

Álvaro Ramírez[ES], Mauricio Múnera [ES], Diego Gómez, Alfredo Marulanda and Juan Diego Estrada,   proposed to organize a video blogging workshop [ES] in the working class neighborhood of La Loma de San Javier.

Fortunately, the two groups agreed to share their resources, tools, and time so that both projects can go forward.

This Saturday the Santo Domingo Workshops will begin at 9am at Biblioteca España.  There was a confusion regarding who would announce the workshop and the Library Network assumed it would be us and we assumed it would be then. Luckily we figured things out in time to announce the workshop and we will wait and see how it works out. 

Here is the ConvocatoriaSantoDomingo.jpg Jorge designed to announce the event.

Here is the text we used in our emails: Colombia email workshop announcement

Why are we doing this? 

• Colombia came in 3rd on an online poll where US citizens had to ennumerate their enemies in Latin America. We have to change this innacurate perception foreigners have of Colombia.
