Building Community
CETLALIC
se ha distinguido desde siempre en formar una COMUNIDAD de personas, de
ideas, de pensamientos, donde se rescaten los valores universales de la
solidaridad, la fraternidad, la tolerancia, la inclusion, la conciencia
politica del movimiento progresista.
CETLALIC nació en 1987 del movimiento de la solidaridad mexicana hacia
El Salvador y en general hacia cualquier país de América Latina. Desde
el principio, buscamos enseñar el español a los extranjeros y ser un
puente entre ellos y los latinoamericanos organizados en los
movimientos populares. Dando a conocer la lengua, la cultura y la
realidad, hemos querido acercar a los pueblos para quitar los
prejuicios entre ellos.
Con
este espacio queremos reconocer el trabajo constante e importante que
varias organizaciones estan haciendo en México. Con ellas tenemos
contacto, relaciones y trabajo conjunto de una u otra manera. De otros,
reconocemos el aporte que dan al movimiento social altermundista y por
eso los ponemos aquí. En CETLALIC sin su apoyo, colaboracion y
aportacion, sería difícil dar a conocer la realidad.
FELICIDADES A TODOS Y DESEAMOS QUE SIGAN CON SU TRABAJO
Since
its inception, CETLALIC has been known for forming a COMMUNITY of
people, ideas, and thoughts, where universal values of solidarity,
friendship, tolerance, and inclusion are restored, as well as political
awareness about the progressive movement.
CETLALIC
was founded in 1987 from the Mexican solidarity movement with El
Salvador, specifically, and all Latin American countries in general.
From its inception, we have sought to teach Spanish to foreigners and
be a bridge between them and Latin Americans who participate in social
movements. Through education about language, culture and the reality,
we hope to develop closer ties between peoples in order to remove
prejudices between them.
In
this space, we want to recognize the important and continual work that
various organizations do in Mexico. Listed here are organizations with
which we have contact, relationships, as well as joint work, in one
form or another. We also include those who we would like to recognize
for the support they give to the movement for social and economic
justice. Without their support, collaboration and contributions, it
would be difficult for CETLALIC to raise awareness about the reality.
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE AND MAY YOUR GOOD WORK CONTINUE.

CETLALIC
alumni are an important part of the CETLALIC community. Former students
have experienced first-hand CETLALIC´s quality education and attention
to cultural and progressive issues. We invite alumni to be part of our
Alumni Outreach Network which helps connect CETLALIC with others who
are interested in studying Spanish and social justice issues in Mexico.
CETLALIC alumni help in several ways, by:
- Bringing
a group from their university, church, or organization to study at
CETLALIC. Groups can participate in special programs already planned,
ongoing regular programs, or design a program with CETLALIC to meet
their particular interests.
- Connecting
CETLALIC with social justice or other Spanish language organizations,
media outlets, and websites who are interested in publicizing
CETLALIC´s programs.
- Passing along or posting CETLALIC brochures to interested organizations and individuals.
If you would like to participate in the Alumni Outreach Network, please ontact CETLALIC Director Jorge Torres at
infor@cetlalic.org.mx.
