Really grateful to join post conference Cities on Volcanoes 12 fieldtrip to Santiago de Atitlán with Ixchel Project. Today we're lucky to hear directly from the abuelo-abuelas about the community around the Lake Atitlán, the volcanoes, and the issues they face due to changing landscape.

On day 2, we heard from Tz'utujil elders about Lake Atiltánand how life has changed (but also not). We also visited a group of women to learn from their everyday life and livelihoods in a post-disaster resettlement. We enjoyed their art and their food too! #CoV12 Cities on Volcanoes 12

On Day 3, we learned from master Tz'utujil artisans about their embroidery and weaving processes. We learnt about threads, colours, and techniques, and even got to try some ourselves! #CoV12 Cities on Volcanoes 12

On Day 4, we went up to Cerro de Oro, a sacred site for the Tz'utujil people. We learned about the stories around it and we discussed some of geology, and how these two come together. We also visited a local school to exchange stories around volcanoes! #CoV12 Cities on Volcanoes 12

Fourth, I was a co-organiser of a post-conference trip to Santiago Atitlán which was linked to the work that we, as part of the Ixchel Project, is doing with Tz'utujil communities in the area. Here's a bit of what we did this week! x.com/ixchelproject/…

An incredible week with the Ixchel Project team this week in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala to learn about local culture & the challenges local communities are facing. A unique experience & I’m so grateful for the communities for sharing their stories & crafts with us!

And on today's double feature (sixth!), we went to San Lucas Tolimán to join the showing of a teaser from the film Cordillera de Fuego. It features some people from the communities that we work with. Maybe my scene as a controversial support actor will make the cut! 👀😅

Grateful for the incredible insights and connections at #CoV12 conference & the inspiring journey with Ixchel Project! Learned a lot and met some awesome people along the way. Ready to keep the momentum going! 🌟 #Networking #LearningJourney #Guatemala #Panajachel

@ecpbrear Cities on Volcanoes 12 Ixchel Project Fieldtrip to Santiago Atitlán was a highlight. Stunning landscapes, happy memories; but also a lot to witness, experience, and absorb... Diverse volcanic processes surrounding the Tzu'tujil communities which generously welcomed us. Thank you all organisers Ixchel Project!

Tomorrow I'll be giving an Resilience Development Initiative and Institut Teknologi Bandung seminar on the role of earth observation and geospatial data for understanding geohazards and their impacts. Feel free to join online.
