The Amazon Guardian Schools Network connects educational institutions in Spain and other countries in Europe with Amazonian indigenous schools and communities to build ongoing educational partnerships centered on interculturalism, languages, memory, territory, biodiversity, human rights, global citizenship, and eco-social and climate justice.
The Network promotes active, context-based, and cross-curricular learning through teacher training, digital tools for collective use, technical support, its own educational materials, environmental activities, and school exchanges. Each process is developed in accordance with the educational priorities, languages, paces, and decisions of the participating communities and schools, fostering mutual learning and dialogue among diverse realities.
Technology is not viewed as an end in itself, but rather as a tool in the service of education, community autonomy, the production of local resources, and the responsible use of images, voices, stories, and traditional knowledge. This perspective is rooted in the interdependence of cultures, territories, and ecosystems; it engages with principles such as “good living” and is linked to the emerging recognition of the rights of nature and the care of life-supporting systems.
In Spain and Europe, the Network offers schools and high schools resources for exploring the collective rights of indigenous peoples and the relationships between territory, consumption, technology, and community life. Collaboration with schools in the Amazon region allows students to address these issues through concrete experiences, challenge stereotypes, and strengthen intercultural coexistence.
These exchanges are conceived as spaces for mutual learning in which each school and community participates based on its own reality. Through the knowledge and experiences that Indigenous communities choose to share, the Network aims to explore different worldviews, the principles of good living, and ways of relating to the land based on care, reciprocity, and interdependence. This dialogue also provides an opportunity to reflect on the recognition of nature as a subject of rights and on the collective responsibilities that this entails.
