The TROCA project Louisa-Jane MacInnes, Plockton
High School
- The Plockton High School branch of the project is
called TROCAPLOC. TROCA is the name of the core
project which I have set up in Ecuador, Brazil
and here in Scotland. The word TROCA means
change and exchange in both Spanish and
Portuguese which is convenient and easy to say in
English. - The main hope I have for the project is that it
brings youth groups in each community closer
together as they learn about the respective
lifestyle, culture, hopes and aspirations or the
different communities. Moreover, the project
empowers the young people to run a small
co-operative enterprise, discussing marketing and
management ideas and making all their committee
decisions democratically. It allows them to see
the practical results and consequences of their
actions and work with and from that.

- Carnival fish float Most of the people you see
in this photograph are artists and joiners from
the TROCA Ecuador project (apart from the two
obvious Scottish faces). Whilst I was in Ecuador
I was involved in this carnival arts project
based on Ecuadorian folklore. I hope to find
funding this year (2006) to bring over 3 artists
to work with school groups in the Highland and
Glasgow area to create a Celtic Carnival. It
would be based on a mixture of Scottish,
especially Gaelic folklore, some more recent
folklore enriching Scotland brought to us by
asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants, mixed of
course with the Latin spice!

- Nyeke y mas Nyeke is the name of the group TROCA
works and twins with. It is a citizenship
project teaching life skills and rights to young
people often orphaned or experiencing difficult
home situations. The name of the group is
Quechuan, courage and more courage.

Rice to the poor. We hosted a rich person, poor
person meal event at the school one evening where
almost 80 people from the school and local
community attended. (Considering we have a school
role of 350 and many of our school communities
are very wide spread we were really pleasantly
surprised). The event was organised and catered
by the TROCAPLOC group
