Who we are ?

Altekio, iniciativas hacia la sostenibilidad, S.Coop.Mad. is a non-lucrative workers cooperative created in 2008 with the idea of offering solutions from an integral perspective to the social, ecological and economic problems of the communities and territories. We generate ideas and develop projects in the areas of environment, community development and social economy.

Tekio calls community work in which each member of the community offers what he/she has for projects that contribute to the common benefit. It is a word that comes from the indigenous communities of the region of Oaxaca, Mexico. Going ‘al Tekio’ is the sense, the attitude and the option that unites us. The initiatives towards sustainability are our work, the common work in which each person of the cooperative contributes with their baggage and their future.

Altekio  Association CH generates innovative spaces for knowledge dialogues between a wide diversity of actors, professional fields and methodological approaches. Through these bridges and connections, we accompany and facilitate processes of eco-social transformation at a personal, organisational and territorial level with a fresh and close style and pursuing the greatest impact. We listen to the needs of groups, organisations and networks and design the best possible way to achieve the desired objectives.We are an international association that work in 4 main areas:

• social ecology and sustainability;
• group facilitation;
• social innovation and citizen participation;
• and social and solidarity economy.

We do this work through trainings, innovation, research, intervention, consultancy and projects of various kinds, and always trying to blend the areas into more integral projects for eco-social transformation. We created this association inspired and supported by Altekio S.Coop. Mad, a social cooperative based in Madrid and working worldwide.
