ELEA Workshop is a community-driven initiative focused on the creation and implementation of architectural projects with a social emphasis. This workshop aims not only to construct buildings but also to empower local communities through participatory and educational processes. Its methodology includes hands-on workshops, collaborative projects, and continuous education, all with a focus on sustainability and cultural exchange among professionals from various Latin American countries.

During my participation in this workshop, I gained invaluable experiences in planning, executing, and supervising construction projects. I worked in diverse locations, developing skills in social construction, teamwork, and intercultural communication. I had the opportunity to engage in practical training sessions that emphasized sustainable building techniques and community involvement, which are crucial for fostering long-term development and resilience.

Additionally, the collaborative nature of the workshop allowed me to work closely with local residents and international professionals, enhancing my ability to navigate and contribute to multicultural environments. This experience also provided insights into the unique social and environmental challenges faced by different communities, further enriching my understanding of the role of architecture in social development.

By participating in the Latin American Social Construction Workshop, I was able to deepen my expertise in socially responsible architecture and gain practical knowledge that extends beyond traditional construction practices. This experience not only strengthened my technical skills but also reinforced my commitment to using architecture as a tool for positive social change and community empowerment.
