Articles and podcasts

Aga has been collaborating with diverse institutions to publish several articles and podcasts. Feel invited to go through the content and enjoy reflections which might come up.

 

  • Invisible Racism - Make it Visible! - article published in Educational Tools Portal - What is "invisible racism"? How do you make it visible with young people so they can work against it?

  • Getting Ready for the European Solidarity Corps (CES) - article written and published by SALTO European Solidarity Corps in their page www.talkingsolidarity.eu Volunteering activities in the Global South can be an excellent tool to strengthen solidarity, but there is no guarantee. Quality preparation of volunteers before deployment can enhance the solidarity aspect and significantly improve the project. This article is inspired by the experience of managing over 150 volunteers between Europe and the Global South.

  • Volunteering after the Earthquake in Lorca - article published in the Coyote magazine
