En nuestra conferencia de ASOCOPI en Santa Marta, entrevistamos a Elkin y Harold, creadores de este emprendimiento que conquistó a nuestros asistentes.

✨ In our interview with Clara Valderrama, we explored the heart of her project Pájaro Rebelde . Through personal experiences, Clara creates meaningful books and products that invite women to reconnect with self-love, courage, and authenticity. She also shared why being part of ASOCOPI and attending our conference matters—because community, reflection, and growth go hand in hand.

🎙️ In our interview with Dr. Juan Ríos-Vega from Panama, we explored how education can truly transform lives. Through his books and puppeteering, he has inspired students and teachers alike—proving that creativity is a powerful pedagogical tool. His message reflects what ASOCOPI truly encompasses: education with purpose, humanity, and impact.

✨ Culture belongs in the classroom. Dr. Astrid Nuñez Pardo reminded us that materials shape identities, voices, and belonging. Contextualized, culturally responsive resources help learners feel seen, heard, and represented — and that changes everything.

We had the honor of interviewing David Suaza, our public school keynote speaker, who shared powerful insights on conflict resolution in the classroom.
From his school in Huila, he reminded us that dialogue, empathy, and intentional strategies can truly transform school culture.

Education that builds peace starts in the classroom

🎙️ In conversation with Dr. Marjorie Campo-Ringler at our Santa Marta conference. A powerful dialogue on transformational leadership, actionable research, and real solutions for multilingual learners. From innovative university–school partnerships to statewide impact, her work reminds us that collaboration is where change truly begins.

At our Conference in Santa Marta, we interviewed Isabel Tejada about a powerful idea:
AI + growth mindset = meaningful educational innovation. A conversation about curiosity, mindset, and using technology to grow—not replace—our teaching. 🎓✨
