Asociación Mundo Posible

¡Creating new horizons!

2014

Mundo Posible begins its operations in Guatemala, led by Joan Fuetsch and Israel Quic. In this initial phase, the potential of a new off-line technology was tested, which gave rise to the RACHEL digital library. This library consisted of a collection of web sites packaged to run on a Raspberry pi that did not require internet access.

 

Joan Fuestch was the one who first learned about the digital library in its English version, and when analyzing how this new technology could help education in Guatemala, she did not hesitate and managed to get the first version in Spanish of the digital library.

 

Once the Spanish version was ready, Israel Quic began to promote its use in schools, libraries and parks, and thus began this project and a new organization that would promote it in Guatemala.

 

2015

In this year, Mundo Posible achieved its legal status as an association. An advertising campaign was carried out in different media and RACHEL was installed in 44 new schools.

 

2017

A collaboration agreement is signed with the Ministry of Education of Guatemala to work in coordination in the selection of schools and in the teacher training process.

 

2019

With the support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the first offline virtual version of our teacher training course was created, which came to facilitate and strengthen our training program.

That same year, this massive open online course (MOOC) won one of the Open Education Awards for Excellence, for its outstanding contribution to the open educational community.

 

2021

To this date june 30, 2021, the most relevant achievement has been the development and implementation of the second version of the offline MOOC, also available online.
