Juan Fernando Londoño
Sound engineer from the University of San Buenaventura, flutist and Silletero. After having passed through the orthodox educational system (school, college and university) I consider that my practical knowledge is very limited, hence my interest in getting closer to the forms of practical knowledge that have been in my territory such as cultivating the land and processing their own food. I am currently studying alternative pedagogies in order to be able to transmit academic content implementing different approaches and lerning mechanisms.
