Join CPT Colombia members in accompanying FEDEAGROMISBOL, a federation of subsistence miners and small farmers in the Southern Bolivar province.  Learn how those in power regard the presence of small-scale miners and campesinos in a resource-rich part of Colombia to be a barrier to economic development by large corporate interests.  

Understand how international mining corporations and large-scale palm oil projects are a root cause of the Colombian conflict and forced displacement.  Meet communities that continue to struggle for their territory, culture, and protection of the environment.  Delegates will also visit organizations in Barrancabermeja, the industrial city in the Magdalena Medio region where CPT's full-time team has been based since 2001.
