Visualizando la energía comunitaria (Community Energy Visioning)
We're back! After taking time for rest and reflection, Freddie, Daphne and Mihskakwan return with the final episode of their four-part Colombia series, featuring SENA instructor and electrical engineer Jose Maria Cotes Mengual. At SENA, the Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje, Jose trains his students in electricity fundamentals, residential electrical installations, and photovoltaic solar energy generation systems.
In this episode, Freddie and Daphne take you on a trip to Jose’s matriarchal Rancheria in the La Guajira region. On their way back to Riohacha, they interview Jose about his experience teaching Wayuu students, his connection to his home Rancheria in La Guajira, and his hopes for the region's future.
We'll be back soon with more episodes about our team's visit to so-called Australia and the South Pacific Islands.

On this episode, we are joined by Johanna Koolemans-Beynen, Senior Program manager at USEA, the United States Energy Association. Johanna is also a Senior Program Coordinator for the USAID-funded Energy Utility Partnership Program.
Johanna joined us on our trip and facilitated the meaningful connections we created with our kin in Colombia. In a conversation with Mihskakwan, Freddie, and Daphne, Johanna shares her thoughts on sustainable development, the decolonial perspectives that have influenced her work, and the importance of peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.
In the middle of this episode, we hear a short excerpt of a poem one of the multi-talented SENA students, Samuel Prieto, performed for us. Thanks Samuel!
This is the third episode in our four-part Colombia series, which will be continued in January next year! We'll also have more stories coming up this spring from our travels to Oceania. So stay tuned and subscribe, so you never miss an episode!

Somos Familia
This episode, we continue the Global Hub team’s journey in Colombia. Listeners will hear from two extraordinary Indigenous youths: Taylor Behn-Tsakoza, a Déne woman from Fort Nelson First Nation, and Vanessa Ramirez, a Wayùu woman from Colombia.
We are so grateful to Vanessa and Taylor, who have graciously shared their time, insights, experiences, and calls to action with us and our global energy community. Our Indigenous youth are leading meaningful climate action and demonstrating collaborative, innovative, and decolonial pathways that center community.
