We are a collective of Ecuadorian and international educators, teaching artists, development specialists and community organizers who seek to bridge the divide between community development and international development, as well as between local and global education.
We bring together our diverse experiences and skills, using creative educational programming, to foment a balanced and sustainable dialogue between local and global change agents.
A semester-long, community-based study abroad program in Ecuador that seeks to create a more sustainble future for all. Like no other program in the world, we offer Fair Trade Study Abroad and the simultaneous, equitable education of local counterparts, meaning students work and study on a daily basis with community members. Facilitated by leading scholars and teaching artists, we combine challenging academics, Arts for Conflict Transformation methodology, participatory action research and engaged learning / scholarship.
We share our diverse programming (from online courses to podcasts) that are born "from the cracks" of systemic injustice.
Unprecedented times require us to think, act and learn in unprecedented ways. COVID-19 is not only asking us to rethink international education, but higher education overall, and we are offering the revolutionary spring 2021 program "FROM THE CRACKS," which allows for flexible participation in five online courses with Pachaysana faculty and local Ecuadorian community-based educators.
We also have a series of online WEBINARS and WORKSHOPS that challenge us to re-imagine intercultural and international learning. Learn more!
