Qui sommes-nous
The concept of Econexiones Unidas originated in January 2009 and eventually led to the founding of the Guatemalan/French NGO of the same name.
The basis is a holistic vision, in the face of the necessity of linking up with other organisations in order to achieve rational human development. We have to maintain and strengthen those things which bond us with nature, with the aim of investing our actions with greater coherence, more sustainability and effectiveness in the light of present and future global challenges.
Econexiones Unidasis an eco-social organisation with Franco-Guatemalan origins, which is dedicated to alternative communication and environmental education in favour of sustainable development. We work with various community groups in Guatemala, which we coordinate through the network “Eco-actores” (Eco actors) on the internet. In the field of environment education, we run workshops, further education courses, eco-educational games etc.. Parallel to this, we carry out initiatives relating to fair/green trade and sustainable eco-tourism, which present development opportunities allowing life in harmony with nature.
Paramount global challenges:
• Climate change
• The drying up of natural resources
• Environmental pollution
• Socio-economic injustice and the loss of cultural identity
Eco-concepts:
• Eco-consciousness: here we encourage various means of communication e.g. environmental psychology, or art which serves to spread eco-awareness. We work on sensitivity towards the signs of our times, natural signals, and also on an analysis of our behaviour, in order to advance a better attitude to the evolution of our planet and of mankind.
• The concept of Econexiones Unidas: This is based on the approach of sustainable development (Bruntland-Report). The fundamental objective is to pass on our social, economic, political and environmental aims to future generations.
• The concept of eco-actors: An eco-actor is someone who through his activities, services or projects deals responsibly in relation to the environment, cultural identity, socio-economic development and governability.
• The concept of eco-projects: An eco-project is supervised by an eco-actor who shares our outlook on sustainable development in its daily and local implementation. Thus an eco-project combines the conditions which provide for environmental protection, appreciation of cultural identity and the creation of local socio-economic development in the context of local governability and democracy.
