Anything else

Anything else you want to share about your project?

The tutorial was tested with all 15 teachers to confirm its usefulness as educational material in 2 online sessions. The video was produced from the logic and everyday life of the Wayuu people.

For the development of this project, the group of editors was in constant communication with the working group of ISUR. The communication took place through email, group in an instant messaging application and online meetings. There were 3 meetings, plus 2 meetings to test the video tutorial.

As a result, not only the Wayuu community has the video tutorial, but with the increased capacity that the production and the video itself provided to this group will become multipliers of these capabilities in a learning model training.

In addition, we see the potential to attract more contributors and make the projects known through other non-textual formats. The audiovisual strategy has allowed us to have better reception within the community and to have new communications with other indigenous communities.
