Edu-actors develops and applies its communication know-how and its pedagogical methodologies through designing, training, and coordinating local and international ad-hoc trans-disciplinary teams of teachers, educators, activists, researchers, artists, communicators and media experts.
“The social interactions inherent to the human being are an inexhaustible source of creative tension. For me, enhancing latent creativity in educational spaces means facilitating the generation of communicative processes that involve community, sharing, common sense, as well as the aspiration to expand what we have in common.”
Daniel Fernández, founder and president of Edu-actors.

“All of us represent different generations and histories; a number have experienced war and some are educators and students; and many have more than one of these identities. So isolated as we are, your willingness to share your history and seeing a group of people for whom your words resonated created a community; and a moment of solidarity across time and space”.
Joyce A. Apsel. New York University (USA)
