Our Social Responsibility

 

We have engaged with more than 10,000 children, youths, adults and seniors from Mexico and Canada in a wide diversity of hands-on learning environmental education programs to adopt a regenerative mindset rooted on Traditional Ecological knowledge and values.

The relevance and quality of the content developed and the effective delivery of our programs have been made possible thanks to the collaboration and partnerships consolidated over years with several organizations and the generosity of our sponsors to support our work.

We are grateful for the support provided by TELUS Indigenous community fund, TELUS Community Boards, TSAG, Parinama and West Coast Seeds for their kind donations and generosity supporting our work on food sovereignty and building capacity across First Nations.

Lotli

Beside our environmental education programs and the creation of handmade upcycled Art and crafts, we seek to provide a life changing experience for children in Canada as well as in Mexico by implementing the One for One Model.

For every upcycling workshop we provide in Canada, part of the proceeds are allocated to provide an equivalent workshop for a rural community in Mexico.

Ciclomanias has co-authored two children’s books, a bilingual illustrated book and a coloring book about the Monarch Butterfly (Lotli). This iconic animal which connects North America (Mexico, USA and Canada) is a keystone species. Lotli books have raised awareness about the Monarch’s butterfly’s biology, environmental conservation and concrete actions that children and families can take to protect them, prevent waste, and change behavior. The book has been read by children and adults to encourage systems thinking and to reflect about the concept of waste that does not exist in nature.
