Alexandra PLÜSS
Women empowerment

Trained in anthropology and development studies, I am a tireless traveler, lover of culture and nature. Born in Spain to a Swiss father and a Dominican mother, I carry within me the richness of diversity, which I commit to defend. Learning from and working for indigenous and forest women is for me a very great honor. Besides my devotion for social justice, my big passions in life are dancing, playing music with friends, swimming, taking care of my plants and spending time with my loved ones.

Alejandra SALGADO
Community Connectivity

I am an internationalist and geographer. I was born in a valley surrounded by mountains, prepared for earthquakes, and used to surfing in chaos. I consider myself a defender of doubt and I cannot stand specialization. I love curiosity and human creativity, and I think we all create technologies! I also believe in the diversity of worldviews and spiritualities, that is why I love working with indigenous peoples!

Based in Guatemala and Mexico

Blanca LAGUNAS
Youth inclusion

Studied Biology and MSc in Biotechnological Engineering in Spain, Belgium and Denmark. I am a climate activist due to the inaction of the system regarding the climate and ecological crisis we face today, due to the climate injustice (ecological and social) that many communities suffer in the world and for the love for nature and all beings. I am passionate about facilitating dialogues between diverse, multicultural people in radically inclusive spaces fostering collective intelligence. I love learning and valuing diverse ecosystems and the organisms present on them, understanding natural cycles and connecting with nature.
