La Perla
In 2023, Memoria Decolonial and the Asociación Impacto Comunitario de La Perla established a collaboration agreement to facilitate workshops and tours with the active participation of the community. Residents of La Perla joined as researchers in the San Juan Extramuros project, which includes stops in the community guided by its residents. Tours that visit the community are offered exclusively to students and educators in Puerto Rico.
The project also includes Finca Escuela, an environmental education initiative that promotes sustainable food production through a community urban garden, as well as reforestation and coastal cleanup efforts in La Perla.
In 2025, Memoria Decolonial supported Finca Escuela through a grant sponsored by The Philanthropy LAB at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón. The funds will support a series of workshops and coastal cleanup events throughout the coming year for residents and children from nearby schools.
