In 2020, we inaugurated our transformative program for high school seniors at Santo Tomás ChÃa, cultivating a compassionate online space for students, parents, and teachers. This inclusive setting provided a platform for empathetic sharing, crafting feelings and needs cards, and implementing the No Fault Zone Navigation board, tailored to the ages (15 to 17) and their cultural context.
Accomplishments and Impact:
Provided complimentary classes to families and granted university scholarships, supporting students like Paula, Luisa, Valeria, and Nicolas.
The initial two scholarship recipients are now in their 7th semester, while subsequent years saw one student per year receiving a scholarship.
The original donor continues to support the university fees of these four students.
Evolution and Curriculum:
Named "PAZCIENCIA" in 2023, our curriculum incorporates Nonviolent Communication, understanding the brain and nervous system responses, peer mediation, and mindfulness practices.
Unfortunately, financial constraints compelled the discontinuation of the university scholarship.
Future Endeavors (2024):
We started this year program with 14 students on April 23 and will end on October, 2024.
We expanded outreach to 10th and 11th-grade students for the hybrid program.
We will collaborate with guest teachers from the US, Mexico and Canada to cover brain modules, relational biology and peer mediation.
Families will receive the program for free with support from a new donor and the school.
This year we have received 726 USD from a donation to cover the costs of the program. We shorten the program to be able to continue.
Student Testimonies: Participants have reported transformative impacts:

Reduced judgment and increased empowerment
Improved comfort with honest expression
Greater willingness to listen empathically
