SEED Alum Protagonist of Award-Winning Documentary
Bartolomé Vázquez López is a teacher in a one-room multigrade school of indigenous education in the mountains of Chiapas, Mexico, and he knows that pedagogy is not based solely on textbooks nor fit behind the four walls of a classroom. A true sower of knowledge, Bartolomé untangles his philosophy and educational method in the award-winning documentary The Sower and becomes a beacon of hope for the creation of a humanistic model based on curiosity and love for the outside world.
Bartolomé was a SEED Alum of teacher training at Arizona State University in 2005 in a scholarship program funded by USAID and administered by CIED.
