Mission

La Cambalacha dedicates itself to supporting and facilitating artistic sensitization, learning, exchange, formation and production with the children and youth of rural communities. We are validating and practicing art as a life alternative and professional option.

We believe that everyone has the right to experience and benefit from artistic expression as a universal tool for individual and collective development on social, psychological, physiological and spiritual levels.

Our team of local and international artists and facilitators give art workshops in schools, public spaces and at La Cambalacha's studio and workshops.

Facilitators guide participants through creative processes to channel their individual and collective energy towards confidence-building, social integration and artistic formation.
