“Los sueños son proyectos por los que se lucha. Lo que no es posible siquiera, es pensar en transformar el mundo sin un sueño, sin utopía y sin proyecto. “ Paulo Freire “Dreams are projects we struggle for. We cannot even think of changing the world without dreaming, without utopia and without a project“ Paulo Freire
