Seis integrantes de nuestro equipo acabamos de reunirnos en Montreal alrededor del congreso de LASA, y logramos conectarnos con Christine, Diane y Lisa por Skype. Antes de regresar a Toronto y las presiones de mi trabajo, quiero darles un resumen de los punto más importantes de nuestro encuentro.

Nivel humano: primeramente, quiero enfatizar el aspecto afectivo de nuestra experiencia: conociendo a los compañeros Miskitu de Margarita, festejando los cumpleaños de Maggie y Lisa, compartiendo talleres y comidas, reuniendonos en dos camas del hotel para la reunion, escuchando las voces de nuestras compañeras en Vancouver y Toronto via Skype, etc…

Necesitamos un titulo para nuestro libro. Ahorita, se llama VIVA! Arte Educacion y Politica en las Americas... Hacemos aqui una lluvia de ideas sobre titulos posibles que son mas llamativos...! Solamente hay que agregar sus ideas a esta pagina o comentar sobre una idea expuesta..

OK, guys, let's use this space to brainstorm possible titles for our book. Right now, it's quite boring: VIVA! Art Education and Politics in the Americas... So let's get the creative juices flowing here..! It's easy, just add a comment at the bottom of this page to get the conversation going or to keep it going....!

Hey todos!

This is the story that Olmo, Lisa, Lalo, Maggie, Laura and i came up with on our way to San Cristobal that very first night. It was the beginning, for me at least, of some of us starting to come together as a group.

Please forgive any spelling mistakes as i'm still writing Spanish phonetically.

QUE ONDA WAY COMO YOU ESTADAS CHIDO FRESCO Y VIAJANDO TO CHIAPAS WHERE LAS CUCARACHA SE MOURIO!

I wonder if we should continue on with the story? Feel free to add new stuff, anyone!

best wishes - noah

Congratulations - the 3rd meeting of the VIVA! team was successful! We met Dec 14-21, 2006 in the Universidad de la Tierra in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. Every day was long and tiring, but we made it through some very thick content. It was nice to see you all, and I'll be in contact soon with information about the memoria and website!

In the meantime, feel free to publish your photos and comments to the webpage. To publish photos, go to "create content" then "image" and you can pick "La Tercera Reunion - Chiapas" as the image gallery category. Remember to leave the language category blank so that your image shows up to all users! If you have any questions about the website, feel free to email me at lcreinsb [at] yorku.ca.

Abrazos,
Laura
