How many participants do you think will be involved in your project?
A main group of 90 children and 10 teachers from the 6 public rural schools of La Ceja. The activities are going to take place in the public institutions and in the rural sorroundings. Technological recycled garbage, computers, cameras, audio recorders, arts and crafts, video beam. An artistic group from La Ceja, a Biologist – Ecologist assessor, an open source technology workshopper, and two Social Communicators (applicants).
Besides the microgrant funding, what other resources and support are you seeking for your project to ensure its success?
The microgrant funding is enough to sustain our project because we count with human support and La Ceja's Mayoralty contribution (not money but resources like spaces, materials and human support). Therefore we would like to improve and give continuity to the project in its ambulant or itinerant nature in other municipalities from Colombia, and if its possible in other latinoamerican countries.

Me alegra que existan este tipo de iniciativas para las zonas rurales del departamento, es fundamental poner la mirada en el desarrollo de estos chicos y no solo velar por las necesidades de la ciudad. Espero que reciban el apoyo. Saludos.
Combinar el arte, la tecnología y la creatividad de los niños del campo es una porpuesta interesante para plantear posibilidades y acciones frente a la vida rural, que cada vez tiende a desaparcer por las dinámicas progresistas de la ciudad, y agravan el desplazamiento de campesinos a la ciudad donde pierden su identidad.
Apoyo completamente esta propuesta! Es muy necesario entrar directamente a los barrios con creatividad e interacción real.
