Alexis Alfaro collaborates with Ch'ieltik's, a civil society organisation that seeks through its intervention model “Fortaleciendo Jóvenes” cultivate the skills of the Mayan youth of Chiapas, Mexico, so that young people develop the necessary tools to play an active role in the transformation of their lives and communities, preserving their cultural richness. Through the operative team “Equipo Semillero”, Ch’ieltik educators are inserted in the micro-regions where the organisation works, ensuring content is linguistically and culturally appropriate and understandable.
Cultural relevance is guaranteed not only by being native language speakers but also, by knowing and understanding local dynamics and being able to forge agreements with key actors. The core aims of the organisation are to Strengthen Educational Processes, Enhance Youth Community Participation and Expand Alliances and Local Public Advocacy.
