The practice that brought us here
Our work through time
Each project expanded how we learn, connect, and transform.
From Obrajes to today's classrooms.
Zera began teaching in 2015 with thirteen children who lived with their mothers inside the Obrajes prison. The work then expanded through the national children's hospital network, the national prison system, public schools, municipal governments, youth groups, families, and rural communities. Today, our practice is centered in classrooms and the development of Social Intelligence for Justice.
