Publication

With Hablemos MAP aims to engage and empower people, providing space and knowhow for the expression of thoughts, ideas and experiences connected to Latino culture. Writing and image making workshops taught by bi-lingual, Latino writers and artists will ultimately lead the participants to co-create a bi-lingual publication that includes compelling visual and written stories about their lives and neighborhoods. Hablemos will also include leadership workshops centered on learning how to mobilize and how to build and strengthen community-based organizations with the goal of increasing Latino participation in the civil sector. The leadership workshops are central to this program, for when people are empowered to share their voice and to participate in society there is increased opportunity for local leadership and community building.
