This month:
An international exchange initiative organized by Mountains Beyond Borders to empower young leaders, translated from French and Spanish for “out loud”, AVH/EVA started as way to connect vulnerable youth from social climbing programs on opposite sides of the globe during COVID lockdowns by facilitating translated group video exchanges.
Two years later, worlds collide in international solidarity as three youth from Mexico’s social program Escalando Fronteras will have the lifetime opportunity to explore international social issues for three life-changing weeks with the dynamite support and mentorship of professional climbers Fernanda Rodriguez, Daila Ojeda, and in collaboration with French NGOs such as CCFD-Terre Solidaire (Solid Earth).
À Voix Haute, En Voz Alta will be a journey that crosses not only physical borders, but also topics such as international solidarity, mentorship, and the power of young voices in today’s movement for a more diverse world.
