By enunciating ourselves from this center, we strengthen capacities and accelerate learning processes from within, generating ecosystems of social transformation that are sustainable, especially in contexts of exclusion and marginalization. We seek to go beyond superficial solutions, addressing the roots of inequality and promoting racial, restorative, restorative, restorative social and climate justice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pillars of our methodological action<\/h2>
<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>

We strengthen capacities, foster afro futures in wellbeing and accelerate transformation processes through our marimba methodology: an innovation system that proposes a social and ancestral methodology to innovate with a differential ethnic and cultural afro approach, which uses social and ancestral technologies to create real, liquid and horizontal scenarios that serve as a basis for solutions to emerging problems with an innovation approach, solutions that are born from and for the community context and that are managed by the community itself. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We focus on the strategic agendas of ethnic groups, women and youth, bringing their voices and proposals to decision-making spaces.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Multi-actor fabric construction<\/span><\/a><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/h4>

We believe in the power of collaboration. We actively work to strengthen multisectoral networks and alliances to broaden the impact of our actions and promote a united front for justice and equity. This effectiveness in building alliances is one of our historical strengths.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
