GenerACTOR in Guatemala 2025

16 June 2025

The First International Meeting on Collaborative and Sustainable Urban Transformation in Guatemala (16-17-18 June 2025) brought together institutions from Central America and different international cooperation actors with whom we talked about how to replicate the GenerACTOR model, and the Gardeniser training promoted by Replay Network aps, in other Central American countries, to support the development of more resilient communities through community urban gardens. With GenerACTOR in Barranquilla (Colombia) we managed to generate actors in the city. In Guatemala, we shared the path that the communities of Las Gardenias, La Paz, Lipaya, Juan Mina and Villas de San Pablo, 5 of the poorest barrios in the city of Barranquilla, took in the 3 years of the project. An example of participatory governance that strengthens the social fabric and promotes the well-being of individuals, environmental education and food sovereignty, community urban gardens respond to so many of today's challenges.

An international event organised by ANCI Lazio with the support of the Central American Parliament PARLACEN, the Demuca Foundation and the Musol Foundation.

GenerACTOR is an international cooperation project between ANCI Lazio, Risorse per Roma, Replay Network aps, Alcaldía Distrital de Barranquilla and Siembra Más, supported by the European Union in Colombia.
