Comunidad

Jaaklac researches and promotes Critical Digital Education (CDE) with global collaborations across geographies, cultures, sectors, generations, disciplines, and languages. These are fostered with our governance including a Council, Committee, and Community and guided by our Principles of Collaboration and Coexistence. Jaaklac’s 2025 Community activities opened the door for learning spaces and resources to a total of 19 registered individuals and organisations. Together, we searched for funding, coordinated CDE workshops, and outreached our actions on social media campaigns.

The Jaaklac’s Community is at the center of our mission to materialise and document Critical Digital Education with broader networks. In 2025, our Community was organised by invitation and around 7 online workshops in English, which resulted in producing 2 CDE projects, 2 podcasts to showcase some of the Community’s contributions, and 2 blogs summarising these which were translated into Spanish and English. Access the Jaaklac 2025 Community report, resources, outputs and ideas for improvements.

The Community was first established in 2024 to activate a future with broader perspectives and synchronised with realities from Latin American and the Global Majority. The group consisted of 15 members, including past an new collaborations since Jaaklac was founded in 2020. The activities were mainly in Spanish, centred on bi-weekly meetings, and combining Jaaklac’s Intentions based on projects that we want to keep, change and try. These were iterated with the Community to create new compasses and drive projects that move us with allies in Latin America and the world.
