Equality & Anti-Oppression

In today’s world, if we aren’t actively doing the internal and external work to decolonize and dismantle the unjust systems of inequality that exist here on earth, we are contributing to the upholding of this ongoing oppression.

White supremacy, amongst other systems of injustice, is the reality we have been born into and it is time we unlearn, relearn and rebuild a world that is safe and equitable for all.

How can we bring our whole selves — with all the intersections of our identities and experiences to the work of collective liberation?

Corporación Otra Escuela [Organization: A Different School]

Colombia - Abya Yala

Corporación Otra Escuela (Spanish acronym COE) is a non-governmental organization with 21 years of experience in training, raising awareness, and promoting peace education pedagogies and culture. We have offices in Bogotá (Cundinamarca, Colombia), Santander de Quilichao (Cauca, Colombia), Madrid (Spain), [and are] composed of a multidisciplinary team working on issues around the construction of peace education pedagogies and culture in different regions of Colombia and in other countries.

Our heart (mission) is to train around the Culture of Peace, starting from peace education, through art, cooperative play, and neuroconvivencia [new current that studies the brain’s biological functions and emotional reactions, and how these are changed by an individual’s social and cultural experiences]. And our dream (vision) is that by 2030 Otra Escuela will be a national and international model for the development of innovative pedagogies and methodologies in the field of peace education and building a peace culture.

Science is a Drag (Previously funded 2022)

Science is a Drag is working towards a just world where all barriers to participation and retention in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine (STEMM) have been dismantled and everyone feels comfortable, confident and excited to engage with STEMM.

The world’s first award-winning, community-driven and science-themed drag show, Science is a Drag celebrates science through the powerful art of drag. Established in 2019, the show was created to challenge cis-heteronormative stereotypes and archaic notions of professionalism in STEMM, and to provide a safe and empowering platform for queer scientists to feel creative and unrestricted in their science communication efforts. It also provides a safe and accessible space for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and its allies to engage with science without fear of exclusion or judgment.
Our drag performers serve drama and science in equal measure, turning live DNA extractions into burlesque performances, highlighting the climate crisis with fiery costume reveals, challenging peoples’ perceptions of bees using Pictionary and showing us the correct techniques for flossing with feather boas. Whether through stand up comedy, lip syncs, dance demos, or something else entirely, our performers share research in unforgettable ways.
