The Lencas is the largest indigenous group in Honduras with an estimated population of 450,000. The initiative built on a separate project co-operation aimed to through psychological methods help Lenca activists deal with the different types of stress and repression that affect them negatively as well as the historical memory. Important factors often ignored in the struggle for just societies. Alberto Laínez acts also as an ambassador for Nunca Más.

We hope to see you there!

What is MAKTALKS?
With MAKTALKS the Central American Comitee (Mellemamerika Komiteen) invite different specialists from Central America to share their views and experiences on democratic and human rights issues. MAKTALKS is an initiative that seeks to open space for important and often overseen problematics and make such information available to a Danish based audience.
