Topics

Working together for community life

Topic designed by Otro Tiempo Other Time team: Organizing to sustain community life: networks, legal tools, and participation. In this theme, we place community life at the center by asking, “How are we going to organize ourselves?”

We want to work from a place of defiance and political situatedness, fostering a sense of community and building strategic alliances that strengthen our struggles. We will discuss legal and formal tools to continue our resistance, which will allow us to sustain our collective work over time.

The school's topics are explored in the Otro Tiempo virtual classroom through participatory activities, accessible theoretical resources, and artistic practices, as well as through online and in-person sessions.

Registrations now open! Registration is now open! Registration opens on March 17; please submit the form, and you will receive a response between April 6 and 7.

From april to june, 2026

In this theme, we will reflect on how our organizations our organizations interact with their surroundings,how we face complex debates and to and make medium- to long-term decisionsissues we often haven’t considered as a collective: What is the point of formalizing our status legally? What are the advantages and disadvantages? What steps will we need to take along the way? How are our voices heard within the organization? What are our mechanisms for participation, and how do they strengthen our collective life?

These reflections will help us consider how we organize internally and how we build connections with our networks,which legal and statutory requirements are most beneficial, and which forms of participation best align with our values, interests, and capabilities, thereby fostering collective learning that enables us thereby fostering collective learning that enables us to build networks, alliances, and spaces for action to keep moving forward.

We will create spaces for dialogue, reflection, and collective learning to strengthen the organized efforts of our organizations. Through the exchange of experiences and practical tools, we will explore how to build participatory, networked organizations grounded in an ethic of care.

Module 1. Cooperation and Networking: Strategic Alliances
Our goal is to open a dialogue on community processes and a sense of belonging in order to create networks and alliances that will enable us to move toward a future of dignity and justice.

Module 2. Legal Structures
Decisions that Matter: Why choose a cooperative or an association? What requirements and conditions does each entail? What responsibilities does one or the other entail for those who form it?

Module 3. Practical Tools
We will address specific aspects of our organizations that will help us understand: How do we establish our organizational identity in our bylaws? What are our goals and objectives? How do we define them? With which registries do we register, and how?

Module 4. Forms of Participation
We will discuss activism, volunteering, members, and work teams.
