October was a key month in advancing our mission to make blockchain knowledge more accessible. Our #APRENDOcripto program continues to grow across the continent:
Argentina: Strengthening Foundations and Cultivating Leadership
In Neuquén, our third edition in collaboration with ANIDE (Agency for Innovation and Development) not only consolidated our presence in the region but also laid the groundwork for future expansions in 2025.
However, perhaps the most exciting development happened in Rawson, Chubut, where we witnessed a historic moment: for the first time, #APRENDOcripto graduates took on leadership roles as head teachers. Karen and Mati, former students, transformed their experience into shared knowledge, perfectly embodying our model of sustainable development.
International Expansion
APRENDO's footprint continues to grow. Honduras hosted our 54th edition in Tegucigalpa, while Panama became the tenth Latin American country to join our educational network.
Currently, we have active programs in Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Honduras, and Colombia, with a special focus on rural communities.
Creation of Regional Nodes
This month, we made progress on the concept of “nodes”: regional centers that ensure the monitoring and growth of our educational network. In Chubut, we have already implemented a node model, where graduates act as teachers, participate in weekly learning spaces, and lead other initiatives. Our goal is to replicate this model in other regions in 2025. We will soon share more details about the nodes, the concept, how they work, and what we aim to achieve with them.
Participation in Cardano's Project Catalyst
We are participating in the Cardano Project Catalyst funding round for Fund 13, seeking resources to continue expanding our educational activities in blockchain. [Learn more about our proposal, click here].
The MANIFESTO: A Call to Action
We recently launched our manifesto along with an innovative NFT collection inspired by the iconic Tetris. Each minted NFT represents more than just a digital piece; it’s a block in the construction of a more inclusive educational future.
This initiative not only symbolizes our commitment to blockchain and personal finance education for vulnerable communities in LATAM but also offers a tangible way to participate in our mission.
