My work with youth and children began in Mexico City in 2000, but here in Finland the first workshop with several sessions was in 2011 with a project promoted by Interkult Kassandra named “Koivu ja Tähti” aimed at migrant women.
In the year 2014, I started work relation with the Association Yhteiset Lapsemme, a child welfare organization in Helsinki. There I designed and promoted workshops focusing on children, human rights and Mexican culture at schools, kindergartens, festivals, libraries and others places. Also I have been making collaborations with Helinä Rautavaara Museum developing my art-workshops for children.
From August to November 2016, Yhteiset Lapsemme got a grand from TAIKE to produce a project for the integration of young refugees in Vihti. Through mask-theater workshop I was working beside the puppet theater artist Anne Lihavainen.
In September 2017, the masks from this project were exhibited in the project "Pihalla!?" at Annantalo the Cultural Art Centre for children in Helsinki.
In 2017 Interkult Kassanra RY in collaboration with Warner Music and YLE Radio organized the art-caravan: "YleX get together" The project was two-weeks tour in the Central area of Finland in connection with Suomi 100v.
Until 2019 I collaborate with Anne Lihavainen and Yhteiset Lapsemme developing the "Mask-theater-workshop" with the support of Lasten ja Nuorten Foundationand Alli Paasikivinen Foundation.
My last pedagogical project is in collaboration with InterKult Kassandra RY for "Kulttuurikurkkaus" amazing project promoted by Espoo Kaupunki.
