Elections are over and my work in the civic education sector is in full swing- open for charlas (facilitated sessions), discussion, debate, and community action. To get the ball rolling, my contact and I sat down for a lengthy chat about what the Constructores de la Sociedad want to do based on our work in September (vision and mission have been established), the groups guiding principals (many established through the Catholic Church's Social Doctrine), and an organizational structure we can build upon. Here's what we've decided on:
