The purpose of this report is to describe my experience in the popular community school. The school was born in 2006 with the purpose of transmitting knowledge in a horizontal and popular way, through the selfless contribution not only of teachers as such, but of people with some knowledge they wish to share.   My work during the six weeks in which I worked for the school, consisted in the creation of workshops with a work team, aimed at children and adolescents between 6 to 14 years. The workshops consisted of specific games, where young people could develop their artistic and creative side, where at the same time they could express a message that they considered convenient. The workshops end with a presentation to the community, with the aim of making known the way in which children and young people have developed skills, through the tools that have been provided. In general, the 6 weeks I was in school turned out to be a great benefit for my training as a socia...

the popular arts Background: Chile is a country with broad cultural diversity, and the expression of this fall back onto to the elite, in others words the art are not available to the public. Although in this country there are places with free admission, is not the case for the majority of place where make artistic expression, for example the teathre or institution by need pay for enter, limiting certain sectors. For this reason, have been create forms the popular art with free admission, that resist the form secreted of make art. Additionally this is a form to make politic and create a transformation social. Inclusive the popular art has been very important, for example in military dictatorship, the arpilleras and cueca sola, has been form of manifest of popular art. Problem: Basically the problem is that the state has not taken of this theme, because only offer very few instances, where the accesses to the cultural and art has been free admission and constant.  So for thi...

Hi everyone! In my free time I like to go out with my dancer friends and spend a good time with them, dancing, creating choreographies and listen so mush music. This activity started about three years ago, when I was so interest in ways to express myself and my social anger. So I signed up for dance cultural group where can express and manifest our critics where people really can see us and understand our arts: inside the city. My team and I belongs to “Chin Chin”, a Carnaval group, where you can find musicians, singers and dancers. We are always preparing shows and caravans to present it in Santiago’s vulnerable areas, like La Pincoya, Puente Alto or La Pintana. I used to be part of dancing group, but lately I’m participating in Chin Chin’ music band. A friend of mine is teaching me how to play saxofon and I’m so happy for that. The fanny part, is when we have to design our own suit or mask, depending the chosen theme. Last time, we wanted to representate African religions, so I...

Really, i...

Hello everyone! I think that protect the environment is very is very important since we live in it, so for this reason it i sour duty protect   and become aware of   the respect it deserves. Usually I try to do things that help the planet earth , for example before   go to the bed   unplug all plugs, not only in my room but also in the other romos like kitchen, living room. Also when I have a shower i turn the water on and off. Also every time when I boil water I keep it in a thermos. Now, about   the State of Chile I think that dont have publics policies about this theme, at least   are bad, because in spite of campaign of awareness, these measures don’t have produced good results, because they do not reach the real problema if not   it's something palliative. In addition Chile is a country   where it is privileged   to businessmen and the Economic interests. I think that Little by Little, people are becoming conscientious for th...

It is supposed to I should have done the activity in classes but I cant, because I slept badly last night, then I am not concentrated, sorry :(  however I did the first part reading and I find "easy", but I need work in my vocabulary because I consider little. On the other hand I am sure that the activity about listening is more difficult for me, because I find it difficult to understand   some words. Regards!

Hello! I will talk about my musical preferences. I am so happy about this, because I really like music. I consider the music like something important   to me, because I think that is a way of expression   and represent us according to the type of music we hear. I have a quite varied musical preferences, from balkan music to african music. Really I dont Know when I discovered this type of music, maybe one has lead me to another. The common thing in the diverse style of music that I listen to, is that the occupy a great variety of instruments, specially wind instruments, which I love. I use to listen ska, specially “skatalites”. I also listen a lot to skajazz, latin skajazz, jazz and derivatives of this one.In Chile there also good musicians of this type of music, for example “mercurio Paradise”. I like this kind of music, because I like the simplicity and clarity with wich each instrument is Heard   and differentiated and at the same time the sound like a...

Today I will talk about a theme that I dont like: this is the job, because I do not see working in nothing, well the truth is that   would not like, but i dont care this is life. If i had work, i would   like to do it a organization or collective (self made), where I can join art and social work, in other words   art and social intervention, because I think the art wakes up the sensivity of people, opens your   mind. In the same way understanding   that through this one   can manifest and make a opinion known . I think taht the qualities that I would need in this job is patience and tolerance against frustration. Also I must be a person with a lot of motivation and creativity for create projects   that can I help the rest. And also basic   qualities like fellowship, kindness, respect and etc, to have a good   work atmosphere. I think that my reward would be have a job where by I can help, and also share and learn   from o...

Hello everyone! In this opportunity I Will talk about a film that I like. This film has been the best that I`ve seen in a while. The film is called “The wall”. The first time I saw this film was in my home on youtube, then I saw the wall in the cinema (Normandie) in 2016, together with my friend.  The film is an independent movie by the director Alan Parker. The films tells the story of Pink, a Singer that drags from his childhood a series of traumas due to the harsh education he received. Tired of everything surrounding his profession, he ends up taking refuge in drugs as the only option to break with the wall that he has created around him.

I was eighteen years old and I wish go to a concert of the band that i like very much, the band called Incubus. Regrettably in this moment I did it not have money (as today) so that I could not buy even   the cheapest ticket   to the concert. So I remember that   one day in the afternoon when I was dinner together wit my family, my dad gave me serviette   for clean my mouth. I thought it was strange   because I did not have a dirty mouth but I accept the serviette, so i noted that the serviette was very hard and strange. So when i opened the serviette I saw that the ticket for the concert was inside. In this moment I didn´t believe because Is assumed that would´n go to the concert for and I felt so sad. In this moment i was very happy, and i felt ve...

My great friend is called like me Bárbara, and i have know her since 2003 in the school, when we were seven years old.

Hello everyone! This week I will talk about a bouquet that I like very much. I must say that this semester I took a cfg, which is called "from the universe to the earth, Chilean cueca". although I took this course with two purposes, one of them was to leave immediately with the process of taking a cfg, and the second is because I feel a certain affinity and I like the cueca, which I found entertaining that there was a branch of it.  This course has surprised me, because we have seen the cueca from various angles, and how it has influenced our lives, our construction as "Chilean identity", and that this in turn has had a lot of influence, not only on the identity and culture, but also in politics, the worldview, among others. In the course they have not taught how to compose cueca, and how through this one can tell a story in just a couple of verses, which I must say is difficult. In addition, we had a field trip, where we enjoyed the music and dance o...

Hello everyone!  Today I will talk about an expert whom I admire, within the field of Social Work. In relation to this, I must say that I do not have any professional that is of my influence or admire completely, because I have not yet investigated or been instructed in the subject, however, I must say that more than for one particular person, I feel admiration for the Social Work Collective. The Collective of Social Work (The Social Work Collective) , arises in a context of full military dictatorship in Chile, a fact that marked a change in the structure of social organization, ie, there was a violation of human rights, censorship, prohibition of people’s agroupations, etc. And an institutional shift of professionals, especially social workers. It is in this sense that the popular organization had a greater boom, and it is in relation to this rising of the popular organization that social work decides to support and contribute to these groups. The collective of social work,...
