History

Established in 2000.

Conexiones has been focused for over a decade on researching the question: What is needed to create a joyful, peaceful and sustainable society for all? A large part of the answer lies in the education of our children, peaceful families, and healthy communities. Thus, Conexiones offers a palette of eco-​cultural programs and experiences for children and families that aim to connect them to nature, each other and themselves, while also teaching real-​life skills needed to live harmoniously in an increasingly globalized world — such as multilingualism, Earth stewardship, a global worldview, creative expression, leadership, cooperation, service, and non-​violent communication
