Education & Restoration

Re-storying identities & restoring territories with Indigenous communities in Ecuador.
LAUNCHING our NEW UNLEARNING workshop
Beyond the gift: Institutional Giving in a Changing World
2025-2026
Unlearn with María José (Chochi) Iturralde,
one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People in Philanthropy
Led by our Executive Dirtector, Chochi Iturralde—recognized by TIME Magazine as a global leader “shaping the future of giving at a pivotal moment”—this experience invites you to reimagine giving as a practice of mutual restoration rather than transaction. Work alongside Chochi and our team as we explore ways to move beyond compliance and optics, and into a deeper, relational way of being and building at our institutions and in our communities.

Cada semestre, hay tres excursiones educativas, en las que los estudiantes internacionales participan en conjunto con las contrapartes de la comunidad.
Queremos formar cohortes diversas de individuos excepcionales y apasionados. Tratamos a nuestros solicitantes con un toque personal y les damos a todos nuestra seria consideración.

Aunque nos gusta pensar en la experiencia de aprendizaje como un todo, para propósitos académicos dividimos toda la experiencia en cuatro cursos más un estudio independiente opcional
