Through honest visual storytelling and respectful communication, Somos connects the Maya people's contemporary realities with global struggles—from land sovereignty and environmental defense to the fight for education, healthcare, and housing in underserved communities everywhere.

Start in the indoor section, built like an old shipyard, where you walk among restored hulls and learn how crews built, rigged, and fished. Then step outside to the floating section on the Leonardesque canal port, where ten historic boats lie at moorings, with colorful “vele al terzo” sails raised in summer.

Progetto Continenti is a Rome-based nonprofit founded in 1989. It works in settings marked by poverty and social fragility, supporting long-term development with local partners. In Italy, it also runs global citizenship education and public awareness activities. Its approach rests on three pillars. First, it backs self-development, so communities lead their own progress.

Third, it involves beneficiaries from the start, so people help define goals, plans, and actions, not only join later.
