MEANING OF OUR EMBLEM                        

      The emblem or icon was designed as a visual symbol of the handprint of your contribution to our shared border environment.

      The main element is the hand as a symbol of peace, strength and friendship. The fingers represent the 5 Encuentros, the spiral in the palm of the hand is the sign of the word, utilized in prehispanic culture, identified with communication and dialogue.

      The hands facing each other represent the coming together of our organizations from different parts of the border and our diversity, which gives us strength. Like the 4 hands there are also 4 thematic tracks around which we will focus our attention during the workshops.

      All of these elements seem to be interwoven, symbolizing the network we have formed in our shared borderland, our interdependence and co responsibility.
