SEEDS for Change designs transformative educational experiences rooted in dignity, cultural memory, environmental justice, and collective healing. Each program brings together global participants to learn from local communities, ancestral knowledge systems, and land-based practices across Central America.

We invite learners committed to relational, political, and transformative learning beyond conventional academic spaces.

Program Contributions

Full contributions must be submitted no later than seven (7) days prior to the program start date.

• Contributions cover programming, on-ground transportation between activities, shared accommodation, meals during scheduled activities, workshop materials, and facilitation.

• Participants are responsible for securing their own airfare and travel insurance separately.

Solidarity Contributions

We invite individuals with institutional privilege—such as access to professional development funds, scholarships, or discretionary budgets—to support broader participation.
Solidarity contributions can be made by:

• Allocating part of institutional funding to support participants historically marginalized from global mobility;

• Offering intentional financial support as a commitment to educational justice and collective responsibility.

This is not an act of charity but of solidarity—an acknowledgment of the labor, memory, and expertise that participants from historically exploited communities bring to these transformative spaces.
