I co-founded the association named Alternavista. the objective is to increase citizens awarness of sustainable development and social economy.

We are going to point up people that lead alternative solutions at local scale and that constrast global development, taking care of social and environmental issues.

From January to the end of July 2012, we are going to travel desde Buenos Aires to Vancouver, interviewing people supporting organization on one of these 5 topics:

Community banks
Peri-urban agriculture
Community education
Fair Tourism

We also work with 12th grade classes in High School on those themes and we will share oour experience making a photo exhibition and a documentary film by September 2012.
