This inspiring poem To Mother Nature was written by participants from a recent creative leadership workshop in Belize. After a guided reflection, each group shared their vision for the world they want to create, using the artistic medium of their choice.

Conservation Professionals Gain Practical Tools and Fresh Perspective from Creative Leadership Workshop
ArtCorps Friday, May 17th, 2013When she signed up for the intensive course in Creative Leadership for Social Change, three full days of training sounded like a long time to Lynette Gomez, Community Development Program Manager of SATIIM. To her pleasant surprise, the sessions were highly interactive and filled with useful exercises for creatively engaging the communities she works with. On the last day of the workshop, Lynette told the group that she hopes to participate in the 12-day certificate course in the future.
What exactly took place in this recent workshop to make it so transformative for Lynette and the other 16 field and management staff from eight marine conservation organizations gathered in Punta Gorda, Belize? Through numerous creative processes facilitated by ArtCorps Alumnae Aryeh Shell and Cherine Badawi, participants explored their purpose, leadership styles, collective visioning and movement building. At the same time, they engaged in rich dialogue about the challenges they face in conservation: overfishing of their reefs, land grabs, plastic pollution, to name a few. Through skits, role play, sculpture building, mural making, music and illustrations, the participants one by one let down their guard, and began to look at things anew, challenging assumptions and seeking fresh ways to build collective action.
The experiential nature of the curriculum called for many to step right to the very edge of their comfort zones–and it was this willingness to take risks and jump into something new that was astounding to witness. By the end of the workshop, each participant shared their plans for creative community projects to help advance their causes. One organization decided to work with the school system to collect trash from the reefs, from which they will create giant recycled sculptures of manatees that raise awareness about the size of this problem.
Christina Garcia, Executive Director, Ya’axche Conservation Trust says, “It is the first time I have participated in such a training and would really recommend for leaders of conservation organizations. I really enjoyed every moment of it!”
Christina and the other participants emerged from the experience empowered to implement the new strategies they had learned. To sum it up, Danny Hun from the Toledo Institute for Development and Environment stated, “WE are the solutions to our problems.” Yes, they are, and after the workshop, they are also better equipped to realize their initiatives.

This workshop was sponsored by the New England BioLabs Foundation.
The handbooks for this workshop were produced with generous support from Zeno Design in Newburyport, MA.

Expertos en Conservación Obtienen Herramientas Prácticas además de un Nuevo Enfoque del Taller en Liderazgo Creativo
ArtCorps Friday, May 17th, 2013Cuando Lynette Gomez, Gerente del programa de desarrollo comunitario de SATIIM, se inscribió en el curso intensivo de liderazgo creativo para un cambio social, tres días completos de capacitación le pareció mucho tiempo. Para su agradable sorpresa, las sesiones resultaron ser muy interactivas y estuvieron llenas de ejercicios útiles para involucrar creativamente a las comunidades con las que trabaja y mejorar la forma en que realiza su trabajo. Durante el último día del taller, Lynette dijo al grupo que espera participar del curso certificado de doce días en algún momento.
¿Qué fue lo que pasó exactamente en este taller para que les resultó tan transformador a Lynette y los otros dieciseis miembros del personal de gestión y de campo de ocho organizaciones dedicadas a la conservación marina convocados en Punta Gorda, Belice? A través de numerosos procesos creativos llevados a cabo por la egresada Artista de ArtCorps Aryeh Shell y Cherine Badawi, los participantes exploraron su propósito, estilos de liderazgo, visión colectiva y fomento de movimientos. Al mismo tiempo, se involucraron en valiosos diálogos acerca de los desafíos que enfrentan en la conservación: sobreexplotación pesquera en sus arrecifes, expropiación de tierras, contaminación por plásticos, etc. A través de sketchs, juegos de rol, realización de esculturas, murales, música e ilustraciones, uno por uno los participantes se dejaron de proteger y comenzaron a ver las cosas de forma diferente, desafiando las hipótesis y buscando formas nuevas de fomentar la acción colectiva.
El curriculo vivencial requería que muchos de sus integrantes tuvieran que ir más allá de sus límites y salirse de su zona de comodidad–y fue su disposición a tomar riesgos y tirarse al algo nuevo que fue tan impresionante para presenciar. Una vez finalizados nuestros tres días juntos, cada participante compartió sus planes y proyectos creativos comunitarios para avanzar en sus causas. Una de las organizaciones decidió colaborar con las escuelas para recoger basura de los arrecifes y de ella crear esculturas gigantes de manatís para concientizar sobre el tamano de este problema.
Christina García, directora ejecutiva de Ya’axche Conservation Trust dijo: “Es la primera vez que participo en una capacitación como esta y la recomiendo a líderes de organizaciones conservacionistas. Disfruté mucho cada momento”.
Christina y los demás participantes salieron de la experiencia estimulados por las estrategias aprendidas y también más fortalecidos para implementar los nuevos enfoques aprendidos durante el taller en sus comunidades. Para resumir, Danny Hun, del Instituto de desarrollo y ambiente de Toledo dijo: “Somos la solución a nuestros problemas.” Sí, lo son. Y luego del taller, se encontrarán mejor equipados para hacer realidad sus iniciativas.
Este taller fue patrocinado por la New England BioLabs Foundation.
Los manuales para este taller se obtuvieron gracias a la generosidad y los servicios de excelencia de Zeno Design en Newburyport, Massachusetts.

En las Palabras de nuestro Socio: El Valor de la Juventud y la Creatividad
ArtCorps Wednesday, October 24th, 2012Los jóvenes líderes capacitados por ArtCorps han sorprendido al Servicio Jesuita para el Desarrollo, sus propias familias, comunidades y hasta a ellos mismos de lo que son capaces de lograr.
“Observar a la juventud nos hizo preguntarnos a nosotros mismos por qué no habíamos trabajado directamente antes con la juventud,” confiesa Gerardo Morales, Director Ejecutivo del Servicio Jesuita para el Desarrollo.
El Servicio Jesuita para el Desarrollo socio de ArtCorps, promueve medios de vida sostenibles y la organización social entre poblaciones rurales de bajos ingresos en El Salvador. El Arte para la Acción complementa su visión, explica Gerardo: “El rol del arte en nuestro proceso educativo, es el de ayudar a las personas y familias con las que trabajamos a que determinen su propio camino a seguir.”
La integración ha sido tan fluida que cuesta creer que hace apenas un año, ningún componente de creatividad o liderazgo de jóvenes era presente en sus programas de educación y extensión. En palabras de Gerardo, “[Los talleres de ArtCorps] han demostrado qué un enfoque basado en el arte mejora la captación de mensajes y ayuda a los participantes a expresarse a si mismos. El arte es una herramienta que puede cambiar a las personas e incidir en los procesos educativos…. Que tesoro para nuestra organización!”
En el primer año de nuestra colaboración ArtCorps ha generado la formación de dos grupos de jóvenes, quienes han pasado de una tímida participación hasta crear sus propias obras de teatro y presentarlas en público. Con el crecimiento de la auto-estima, el pensamiento crítico, las habilidades creativas y el sentido de propósito, éstos jóvenes están ahora listos para liderar y revitalizar sus comunidades. Gerardo narra, “Justo el otro día yo vi a uno de éstos grupos de jóvenes ayudando en una de nuestras capacitaciones en otra región, y demostraron cuánto tienen para contribuir.” Servicio Jesuita planea aprovechar la capacidad instalada de éstos nuevos lideres para promover el cambio social a través de un nuevo centro de comunicaciones que se abrirá el próximo año, y en todos los territorios donde trabajan.
Este proyecto está siendo desarrollado con el apoyo de Oxfam America y New England BioLabs.

In our Partner’s Words: The Value of Youth and Creativity
ArtCorps Wednesday, October 24th, 2012The youth leaders trained by ArtCorps have surprised our grassroots partner Servicio Jesuita para el Desarrollo, their own families, communities and even themselves with what they are capable of.
“Observing the ArtCorps-trained youth leaders made us ask ourselves why we hadn’t worked directly with youth before,” confesses Gerardo Morales, Executive Director of Servicio Jesuita para el Desarrollo.
ArtCorps’ partner, Servicio Jesuita, promotes sustainable livelihoods and stronger communities in low-income, rural populations in El Salvador. Art for Social Action complements their vision, explains Gerardo: “The role of art in our education model is to help the individual and families we work with determine their own path forward.”
The integration has been so smooth that it’s hard to believe that just one year ago, neither creativity nor youth leadership was present in their education and outreach programs. In Gerardo’s words, “[The ArtCorps workshops] have demonstrated that an arts-based approach improves delivery of messages, helps learners to express themselves and is a platform for reflection, discussion and action. What a treasure for our organization to have discovered!”
In this first year of our partnership, ArtCorps has formed two youth groups who have grown from timid participants to performing their own plays in public. With increased self-esteem, critical thinking and creative skills and a sense of purpose, these youth are ready to lead and revitalize their communities. Gerardo recounts, “Just the other day I saw one of these youth groups supporting one of our training activities in another region, and they showed how much they have to contribute.” Servicio Jesuita plans to leverage the newly trained leaders to promote social change on the airwaves of a new radio station that will open next year, and at project sites around the country.
This project is being carried out with support from Oxfam America and New England BioLabs.

ArtCorps-trained Salvadoran Artist Grows into New Leadership Role
Miguel Zepeda Friday, August 3rd, 2012Nature cries out that we mustn’t destroy her and the FUNDAHMER team, Aroma Natural, has heard her cries. Everything started on World Environment Day when Aroma Natural met with ArtCorps Artist Miguel Zepeda Santos to think up an artistic activity that would send a message to Salvadoran society.
Some one said: “Let’s paint shirts that communicate a message with an image.” We all applauded this idea and began to put it in motion. We got the shirts, I found the necessary resources, we agreed on a date, we arranged for a location that would accommodate our needs and we were ready to go.
Joy, nervousness, doubts and many expectations could be seen on each of our faces when the day to paint the shirts had come. I remembered the words of my supervisor Fernando: “Your personality and the way that you present yourself to the group has a lot to do with the leadership that you will be establishing with them.” I had a small but important challenge: To transform the group’s doubts and nervousness into confidence in themselves and to get them to believe in their own and my abilities. As we had already designed the image, we began to paint. Each person started to see his or her creative capacity and imagination more and more. Little by little, the shirts started to look like we wanted them to and each person added his or her own special creative touch.
We finished all of our shirts and began work on a banner that would represent our group in a march in San Salvador where we were going to demand, among other things, laws to protect our deteriorating environment. The demonstration was coordinated with schools, workers and other social organizations and FUNDAHMER also wanted to be present.
The painting of the shirts and the banner was a success. Some of the commentaries that could be heard when we had finished were:
“Look how fast we finished.”
“This time it turned out better than other times!”
“It’s clear that we’ve gotten better.”
“For the first time we worked on our own and we made something beautiful quickly.” (On our own because they don’t see me as an external artist but as part of the Aroma Natural group since I was part of the FUNDAHMER staff last year.)
“Now we can really do it! We should make a Facebook page for Aroma Natural.”
These exclamations make it clear that I overcame my challenge and achieved my goals. When the day came, each of us participated in the march and wore our shirts with pride. People asked us where the shirts were sold, said that they wanted some for their groups and communities, and some even asked us to teach them the technique. In the midst of approximately 8,000 people, our shirts were noticed and we wore our artistic work with pride. The members of Aroma Natural were so excited, that our next project will be a mural in the entrance of FUNDAHMER. We have already done our brainstorming and worked out a design. Soon we will begin our new big challenge and big project. Now they truly believe in their own and my artistic abilities.
Miguel was recently invited to participate in a national human rights advocacy training for 20 youth activists from El Salvador.

El Artista Salvadoreño Capacitado por ArtCorps Crece dentro de su Nuevo Rol como Líder
Miguel Zepeda Friday, August 3rd, 2012La naturaleza clama a gritos que ya no la destruyamos y el equipo de FUNDAHMER llamado Aroma Natural ha escuchado esos gritos. Todo comenzó por el Día Internacional del Medio Ambiente cuando Aroma Natural se reunía con Artista ArtCorps Miguel Zepeda y disponía a hacer una lluvia de ideas para hacer una actividad artística que dé un mensaje a la sociedad salvadoreña.
Una voz se escuchó que decía: Pintemos camisas que deje un mensaje a través de un dibujo. Todos aplaudimos la idea y echamos a andar la propuesta, conseguimos las camisas, les facilité los recursos necesarios, acordamos una fecha, ordenamos el lugar para que esté adecuado a nuestras necesidades y ya.
Alegría, nerviosismo, dudas y muchas expectativas se dejaban ver en el rostro de cada una y cada uno cuando se llegó el día de pintar las camisas. Recordé las palabras de mi coordinador Fernando: “Tu personalidad y la forma en que te presentes ante el grupo tiene mucho que ver con el liderazgo que vayas construyendo con ellos.” Tenía un reto chiquitito pero importante: Que las dudas y el nerviosismo se transformen en confianza en ellos mismos y empiecen a creer en sus y mis capacidades. Como ya habíamos diseñado el dibujo, comenzamos a pintar. Cada una y cada uno dejaban ver la gran capacidad creativa y su imaginación se dejó ver a cada ratito mas y más, y más. Poco a poco las camisas iban quedando según las queríamos y cada quien le iba dando su toque especial según su creatividad.
Terminamos todos nuestras camisas y dimos inicio a pintar una manta para hacernos presente en una marcha en San Salvador donde íbamos a pedir entre otras cosas leyes que protejan nuestro deteriorado medio ambiente. La marcha estaba coordinada con escuelas, trabajadores y otras organizaciones sociales y FUNDAHMER también tenía que hacerse presente.
Fue un éxito la pintada de las camisas y la manta. Al finalizar algunos de los comentarios que se escuchaban entre otros eran:
“Púchica que rápido las terminamos.”
“Ahora nos han quedado mejores que en otras veces!”
“Se ve que hemos mejorado nuestras habilidades.”
“Por primera ves trabajamos solitos y hacemos algo rápido y bonito.” (Solos porque a mí no me ven como un artista externo sino como alguien del grupo Aroma Natural por haber sido parte del equipo el ano pasado.)
“Ahora sí ya podemos! Debemos hacer una página Facebook de Aroma Natural.”
Las expresiones dejan claro que mi reto fue superado y mis objetivos logrados. Cuando se llegó la fecha todas y todos participamos en la marcha y con orgullo lucíamos nuestras camisas. La gente preguntaba donde vendían de esas camisas, decían que querían unas ellos para sus grupos y comunidades y algunas veces hasta que les enseñáramos la técnica. En medio de aproximadamente 8,000 personas, se dejaban ver nuestras camisas y nosotros portábamos con orgullo nuestro trabajo artístico. Tan emocionados quedaron todos los miembros de Aroma Natural que ahora el siguiente proyecto será un mural en la entrada de FUNDAHMER. Ya hicimos nuestra lluvia de ideas y está elaborado un diseño. Pronto daremos inicio a nuestro nuevo gran reto y gran proyecto. Ahora sí, ya creen en sus y mis capacidades artísticas.

Making Organizations in Nicaragua Stronger
Marta Oslin Monday, May 7th, 2012One of Program Manager Marta Oslin’s favorite testimonials from the coffeelands: “The activities are so engaging…we don’t even need to drink coffee!” said the director of a women’s organization at the end of a full-day workshop.
Over the past six months, ArtCorps trained more than 20 World Learning Nicaragua partner organizations in strategies for building lasting partnerships, with a focus on volunteer management. The diverse group of high-performing social change organizations included senior management and field staff working in fields such as youth development, reproductive health, entrepreneurship and democracy.
In this pilot of large-scale capacity-building services, our creative, participatory methodology was extremely well-received as a learning tool. What participants described as “ah-ha” moments abounded as they gained new knowledge and shared and reflected on experiences. In addition to the overall “effectiveness” of the workshop methodology, participants also cited the value of the “practical” and “easy-to-use” training materials, which they have already begun to apply in their organizations.
The ArtCorps Creative Team facilitating the trainings was impressed by the jingles, skits and collages created by the hard-working group as they developed strategies and work plans for their volunteer programs! And we are pleased to have inspired innovative leaders to use some Art for Social Action activities to train the groups they work with.

Fortaleciendo la Organizaciones en Nicaragua
Marta Oslin Monday, May 7th, 2012Uno de los testimonios favoritos de nuestra Gerente de Programas Marta Oslin proviene de las tierras donde se cultiva café: “Las actividades nos hacen involucrarnos tanto… ¡que no es ni siquiera necesario que tomemos café!” dijo la directora de una Organización de mujeres al finalizar un día entero de taller de trabajo.
Durante los últimos seis meses, ArtCorps capacito a más de 20 organizaciones en sociedad con World Learning en Nicaragua, en lo relacionado con estrategias para la construcción de sociedades duraderas, con un enfoque en el manejo de voluntarios. El diverso grupo de organizaciones para el cambio social de alto rendimiento incluía personal de alta gerencia y de campo que trabajan con el desarrollo juvenil, salud reproductiva, iniciativas empresariales y democracia.
En esta etapa piloto a larga escala de los servicios de construcción de capacidades, nuestra metodología creativa y de participación fue extremadamente bien recibida como una herramienta de aprendizaje. Lo que los participantes describieron como momentos de “ah-ha” incrementaron a medida lo hacia su conocimiento y compartían y reflexionaban sobre sus propias experiencias. Adicionalmente a la “efectividad” generalizada de la metodología del taller, los participantes también citaron el valor “práctico” y “fácil de usar” de los materiales utilizados en el taller, los cuales incluso ya han empezado a ser utilizados dentro de sus propias organizaciones.
El equipo creativo de ArtCorps quienes fueron los encargados de facilitar los talleres estaba impresionado sobre como desarrollaron los jingles, parodias y collages de imágenes o
fotografías creados por el grupo quien trabajo muy arduamente en el desarrollo de estrategias y planes de trabajo para sus programas de voluntarios. Y estamos muy orgullosos de haber inspirado a novedosos líderes en el uso de algunas actividades del Arte para la Acción Social en la capacitación de grupos con los que ellos mismos trabajan.

Going Green in FUNDAHMER
Jennifer Sklar Gilbert Friday, September 9th, 2011ArtCorps Artist Jennifer Sklar Gilbert and the FUNDAHMER staff honored Environmental Awareness Month in El Salvador by finding new ways to keeping the office green.
On Wednesday, June 22nd, the FUNDAHMER artist collective “Aroma Natural” met to figure out what steps to take. Through a series of reflections using modern dance, theater and drawing, the staff came up with the following environmental commandments to be put into place from today forward:
- Always bring personal plates, cups and utensils to restaurants and community events to avoid purchasing to-go Styrofoam and plastics.
- Always carry a cloth/reusable bag when making purchases.
- Don’t buy drinks in plastic bottles or cans. Instead, always carry a cup to fill with natural fruit juices or coffees.
- Shut off lights when leaving the office.
- Don’t turn on the air-conditioning in the morning, and always shut it off an hour before leaving the office.
- Paper: Keep recycled paper in the printer. Use blackboards rather than poster paper when giving presentations in the office or communities.
- Keep more plants in the office.
Mariposa and I volunteered to be the environmental “Angels” and keep the efforts going with follow-up activities. Though our office is small, the initiatives we take here will serve as a model for other nonprofits in El Salvador and the communities we serve.
