Cultural & Ecological Center

AN ECO FRIENDLY CENTER

The Imagina Cultural and Ecological Center provides a safe space for classes, rehearsals and performances for all our current programs. Since it inauguration in 2010, hundreds of students have utilized the space to learn, play and perform.

The center also hosts guest performers, giving the local community free access to cultural and artistic events for the whole family. Over the years, the center has also been home to artisan markets and traditional celebrations. In 2017, with help from our supporters in Florida, Imagina Children’s Foundation funded the creation and equipping of the Robotics Lab.

Designed by Renowned Architects
Designed by renowned architects Peter Van Lengen and Gernot Minke, and built by José Antonio and Ana María Orozco, the Cultural and Ecological Center was created using eco-friendly elements including: recycled materials, green roofs, energy and water saving techniques as well as the reforestation of local species. Building the center became a community project, and it contributed to the reconstruction of the social fabric of the community by generating employment and creating a sense of investment from the local population in the project. A factory was created for the production of adobe, which was used for the project, and workers were trained in the ecological techniques required to work with the material. Even after the project was completed, the workers were left with enough knowledge to allow them to find greater opportunities in the field of sustainable construction.
Eco Friendly Techniques

For the first time in the region, there was a project consisting of entirely eco friendly techniques: green ceilings, usage of adobe and concave beams, renewable energy, bio-acclimatization, agro-ecology and ecological draining. Our mission was not only to create a safe, practical space for our programs but also a true community project that would lessen environmental impact.

Symphonic Orchestra & Choirs

TALENT IN ACTION

Inspired by Venezuela’s “Tocar y Luchar” orchestra, Lourdes Arena de Orozco worked with Imagina to develop and create our children’s symphonic orchestra.

The students involved in the orchestra have individual practices for three hours a day, every week day; the complete orchestra rehearses for three hours during the weekend. With so much hands on training, the students’ musical abilities flourish and their opportunities grow.

Over the course of a decade, Imagina’s orchestra program has grown; now there are 200 students in two separate orchestras, and a choir of around 40 students ranging from 6 to 19 years old. In the beginning, they practiced in a patio where they could barely fit, but their dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism was always a sight to behold. Some children even had their individual lessons out on the street, because there simply was not enough room to accommodate them all. Now, they have a permanent home in the Cultural and Ecological Center at Imagina Mexico.

In 2015, 30 students were selected to travel to Texas and Florida and performed 6 concerts. Another group of children were selected to perform in Florida once again in 2017, and as the years go by the entire orchestra has performed more than 100 concerts a year in Mexico. Many of our students have been selected by elite nationwide orchestras to continue their musical journey, while others have received college scholarships and have been able to pursue higher education.

Endorsed by CONACULTA

Endorsed by CONACULTA, the orchestra started in 2009 with 70 children and adolescents. In 2013 the program was then incorporated into the Programa Nacional Música en Armonía del Sistema de Fomento Musical, and is now the leading orchestra of the Sistema Comunitario Musical del Bajío.

Technology & Robotics Center

MINDSTORM KITS DONATED BY ITESM

This classroom inside the Cultural and Ecological Center was equipped by Imagina Children’s Foundation. This program helps youth and adolescents stay up to date with technology classrooms that house computer labs, online courses and access to the Internet for infinite learning. The first Robotic class started during the summer of 2016 and 4 teams already entered the Robolympics at the prestigious ITESM.

The program incorporates robotics and other tools to help them not only take their learning to a new dimension, but enables them to become more aware of their surroundings in order to make a better world for themselves and their families. The Robotics program uses Mindstorm Kits donated by ITESM, of which, students of this prestigious University volunteer as teachers of this great program.
