Efforts We Are Supporting This Year
La Conde is a community project of public space with an anti-racist, decolonizing and entrepreneurial perspective that integrates ecology, emancipatory education, the arts and health. It is aimed at children, adolescents, and older adults within a residential area that includes a population of over 28 thousand people between the communities of San Antón, Saint Just and Los Mirtos. With La Conde project, they seek to recover the 6,165-string campus that the old Carlos Conde Marín School has (closed in 2017) and turn it into a community space that encourages, promotes, and values neighborhood creativity as a trigger for opportunities.
