The Equipo Maize is a group of women and men who make popular pamphlets and
books, and conduct educational days, workshops and actvities on different subjects.
They seek to explain in simple form, subjects that affect the conditions of
life of the great majorities. They offer methods to analyze the reality of the
home, the group, the community, the country and the world, to understand that
everything is related. Their processes help people to form opinions so
that every one decides what they want to do to change the reality of their home,
group, community, country and of the world.
The Equipo Maize began work in popular education from 1983 in El Salvador. They
arose in the middle of the war, from parishes of the periphery of San Salvador,
to collaborate in the necessity of understanding what was happening in these
years. Through the years, they have maintained their two fundamental areas of
work, training and publications that emphasize issues and techniques.
The Equipo Maize works 5 subjects: Methodology of Popular Education, Sexuality
and Gender, Economic Literacy, Management of risks (Understanding risks?), and
Historical Memory.
From these 5 subjects, the Equipment Maize has developed the following collections
of materials:

Training Workshops have been developed in the five areas mentioned above.
These workshops may be consultations on an hour or two, a few hours in length,
multiple days, or weekly sessions they refer to as “schools.”
The work is done in among groups in the popular sectors: marginal groups, cooperative
women, young people, communities, educational groups, union, Base Communities,
communal directors, etc.
The mode of work is to respond to a request of a community or an organized group
in their place. The organization who asks for the services of the Equipo Maize
summons the people which they will attend the event, elaborates the work schedule
and looks for the premises where the training activity will be done.
