San Cayetano Workshop Discussion | 2004

San Cayetano Workshop Discussion

Students from the Albert Einstein University in El Salvador – Pamela, Carmen, Lily and Claudia – met with MIT students for two days to discuss the San Cayetano Workshop carried out jointly with SIGUS in the summer. The students have taken the workshop methodology and are developing it for their thesis focused on housing design. They continue to monitor and support the San Cayetano project, and plan to use the participatory approach in other settlements. The San Cayetano Workshop was funded by the MIT Service Learning Program, with additional contributions from local NGOs.
