FRIENDS:
The Collective Dulenega in its desire to continue offering shops, seminars and conferences that qualify the indigenous population of Panama. This year it proposes to support the initiative to publish a Calendar with pictures of children, girls, women and men of the indigenous peoples ngöbe, dule and emberá.
This collection of pictures of Lois Iglesias, photographer of the nation dule with a wide experience in this field and multiple exhibitions in the national environment, Lois is a member of the Collective Dulenega. With this proposal we seek to enlarge the projects of the Collective Dulenega, as workshops on Oral Literature, Identity and Environmental Education in the Indigenous Districts of Panama, directed to children and youth.
This summer 2004 (January-March) we want to make a series of workshops directed to this infantile and juvenile population, specifically in the area of Madungandi and Ipeti Emberá. The workshops will be carried out by Collective members who are specialists in these topics.
