General information

Through children’s books and experiential training, we seek to inspire future generations to engage with nature in a respectful and creative way. Sustainable mobility, healthy lifestyles and the use of renewable materials such as bamboo, are the central axes of our work.

This campaign will allow us to publish the illustrated story book "Bambuco", whose main character is a bamboo bicycle. This book will be donated to libraries and public schools in Colombia and Spain. In addition, we will hold a workshop for young people from a public school in the Colombian city of Cali, to teach them how to make their own bamboo bicycle. They will have the opportunity to learn how to work bamboo in a sustainable way and will become bamboo ambassadors, transferring what they have learned to other young people.

The funds raised will be used to print 1,000 copies of "Bambuco" and finance the workshop for at least ten young people. The workshop will be held at the facilities of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Ecocultura. The funds will also be used for training, and to purchase supplies, materials for the bamboo frames, and bicycle parts.

We invite you to join this initiative.

Belangrijkste kenmerken

For both the illustrated book and the workshop, the primary audience are children and young people, with the aim to:

  1. Arouse their interest to explore more about bamboo, its benefits and particularly the benefits for the environment.
  2. Feed their curiosity, creativity and love of nature, and inspire them through the experiences of others.
  3. Recognize the bicycle as a means of sustainable mobility that provides benefits to people's health and the environment.

Using the illustrated story book, children, parents and teachers will have fun with its main character, Bambuco, a bicycle made of bamboo. This friendly bike will take the children on a trip to different countries where this remarkable plant grows, and will show them its various uses, explaining in a simple way why it is a renewable resource.

The campaign, however, goes far beyond a story. Bambuco also wants to leave the pages of the book behind and become a real bamboo bike. With your help and the experience of Ecocultura in conducting "Do-it-yourself" workshops, we will be able to provide training for young people to make their bicycle and acquire technical, environmental and life skills in the process.

Strengths and differential values of the project

The story book is a tribute to bamboo and to those who have valued the characteristics of this unique resource: strong, resistant and flexible. The United Nations (UN) has declared bamboo "the plant of the millennium", because it can be our ally in mitigating the effects of global warming.

Ecocultura is a non-profit NGO from the Colombian city of Cali that implements social and environmental projects to contribute to more sustainable communities. Among its creative projects is the BambooCo project, which was the inspiration to write the story. Within this earlier project, various workshops and training sessions have been organized in which young people, artisans and other professionals have participated, generating synergies in the construction of furniture, bamboo frames for bicycles and pedal powered machines such as bike blenders).

To appreciate your participation in this campaign, you will be able to obtain beautiful rewards, such as an organic cotton bag with a drawing by the artist, inspired by the story "Bambuco". See the rewards section for more details. Shipping will be free within Spain and Colombia.

Waarom is dit belangrijk

It is important to promote environmental awareness from an early age, to learn where the products we consume come from and how they are made.

Being curious and connecting with nature will allow us to see different and creative possibilities to do things better by respecting the environment, our planet and our future.

For this reason, through children's books and working with young people, we want to sow the seed for a change in environmental consciousness. Bamboo is our protagonist, which allows us to start that process. The plant is our teacher of strength, patience, perseverance and love to help us to put our creativity at the service of sustainability.

Each individual action contributes to global change.

Team en ervaring

We are Mónica Valencia and Lina Castaño, cousins and colleagues who worked together on the idea of the illustrated story book for children. The storyline and text were done by Monica and the illustrations by Lina. In order to turn Bambuco into a real bicycle, we teamed up with Sonia Quintero to carry out a workshop that sows the seeds of curiosity and knowledge about bamboo in young people.

Monica is a psychologist. Motherhood has in recent years connected her with her creative essence and her inner child, spending the happiest moments of her life enjoying nature. Being a mother has allowed her to apply the mantra "do things with soul and calmness." To do this, bamboo has been a source of inspiration as it first strengthens its roots patiently, before leaving the ground and then growing strong and flexible. Monica currently lives in Valencia (Spain), works in Ecocultura and in her own social enterprises.

Lina is a microbiologist by profession and illustrator at heart. Ever since she was a child, she never parted with her colored pencils and drawing block. She has a real talent for illustration, with a creative and self-taught spirit. Her style is generally quite surreal, so "Bambuco" helped her to explore another facet of her creativity. She currently lives in French Polynesia and works on her own projects.

Sonia is director of Ecocultura, social entrepreneur and promoter of the use of bamboo. Ever since she learned about bamboo bikes, she fell in love with them for their beauty and their potential as a symbol of sustainability. During the past six years, she has offered, with the support of artisans, workshops to make bamboo frames for bicycles, pedal powered machines, and other functional products, taking advantage of the versatility of this valuable raw material. Young students from technical and artisan schools have been included in the various activities in order to generate positive synergies and new opportunities for them. Sonia spends her life between California and Colombia.
