(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) SOCIAL COMMUNICATOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER – MEMBER OF WAYUU PEOPLE'S COMMUNICATORS NETWORK, LISMARI MACHADO SAYING: "The Communications School was born from a political commitment to training for young Wayuu people over 15 years ago, from the Wayuu People's Communications Network collective. For us it was new to understand what proper communication was, what it meant to weave communication from the territory. For me, personally, I was studying social communication and audiovisual journalism at the University of Zulia. For me, communication was through the media, but when we entered the Communications School we understood that communication is not only through the media or through tools, but by listening to the grandparents, to the elders, we understood that communication had to be woven from within, from the communities. We understood that our first means of proper communication is through dreams." 4. YOUNG PERSON FROM WAYUU PEOPLE'S COMMUNICATIONS SCHOOL SPEAKING TO REPORTER (Spanish) 5.

(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) AUDIOVISUAL PRODUCER – MEMBER OF WAYUU PEOPLE'S COMMUNICATORS NETWORK, YELBER YESID FLOREZ CAMARGO SAYING: "In the school processes we attend 12 modules, each year we meet six times and we get together once a month and the school is very itinerant. The school doesn't have walls, it's not like a university or like a school. Our walls are the wind and the roof is the sky and our floor is the earth. And so we walk through the territory searching and learning more about our culture and informing more about our tradition and our teachers are the traditional speakers, they are our knowledge keepers, they are our spiritual guides. "We tell our stories, we narrate our stories from the territory for the territory. The experience I had at the Communications School was being able to see beyond the stories and being able to listen to them and understand a little about our context, which is very important to be able to know, before leaving the territory, being able to know your own territory and being able to tell our own stories." 8.

(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) STUDENT AT WAYUU PEOPLE'S COMMUNICATIONS SCHOOL, ORIANA IGUARAN SAYING: "Entering the Wayuu People's Communications School has allowed me to have clearer objectives, one of those is creating, having the possibility of creating a community school newspaper. So for me it would be really cool because I know I can somehow create a positive impact for society, for children, for young people, so that the survival of our culture continues." "We write to tell, to narrate our stories. I am a representative of my community, I am a spokesperson, I am a communicator for my community. Through me I can tell, relate what is happening in my territory, through writing just like my other companions." 15. WIDE SHOT OF WINDMILL USED TO EXTRACT GROUNDWATER AND WATER TANK 16.

(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) INDIGENOUS AND COMMUNITY COMMUNICATOR – MEMBER OF WAYUU PEOPLE'S COMMUNICATORS NETWORK, LUIS FUENMAYOR SAYING: "While the idea is that the young people can acquire communicative tools such as the use of sound, image, writing, it is fundamental for us that the stories are told from feeling, acting and thinking as Wayuu. And that's where the cultural complement intervenes. We gather to reflect on how we Wayuu would tell a news story, how we would tell a report, how we would tell a chronicle, how a story is told, how we can narrate what is happening in our territory." 20.

VEHICLES USED TO TRANSPORT SCHOOL STUDENTS MOVING ON ROADLA GUAJIRA, COLOMBIA - MAY 21: A grassroots media school in Colombia’s northern La Guajira region is reshaping how young members of the Wayuu Indigenous community access and share information, using communication to strengthen cultural identity and engage with the modern world. The Farias Montiel Wayuu People’s Communications School trains Indigenous youth as communicators while preserving their oral traditions. Seen as a milestone in democratizing media, the initiative brings educational opportunities to historically underserved areas. Now in its third cycle, the school follows an itinerant teaching model, bringing workshops on storytelling, digital media, and intercultural communication directly to Wayuu communities. Organizers say the program builds a vital bridge between ancestral wisdom and new technologies, empowering youth to tell their own stories.
