Young Storytellers 2023

In this new season of “Jovenes Contadores de Historias”, participants have narrated their agroecological experiences in a unique way, using fiction as a resource to script and produce videos with the purpose of promoting chemical-free farming

This is the trailer of the fiction play “La niña papa” narrated by the young director Edison Aguaiza.

La niña papa” is a work of fiction that powerfully addresses the relevance of farming without the use of chemicals. This captivating short film, produced by JCHs, explores the importance of adopting sustainable farming practices and highlights the need to preserve nature without compromising it with chemicals. Discover the powerful connection between the earth and our choices in this inspiring film work!

This is the personal video of each member of JCH (Jóvenes Contadores de Historias). In this video, each of the boys share their personal interests by expressing themselves through the camera.
