EPSULA - Educational Portal for Sustainable Cultural Diversity in Latin America

Description

This project addresses the pressing issues of social exclusion of vulnerable communities in remote and rural areas in Ecuador and El Salvador by creating an online educational environment that can foster cultural diversity, promote indigenous heritage and strengthen social cohesion in an environment-friendly way in both countries and beyond. The consortium of seven HE institutions (2-Ecuador, 2-El Salvador, 3-EU) will develop a multilingual online portal that has two functions: it will serve as (a) a collection of tangible (traditional crafts) and intangible (folklore, oral traditions) cultural heritage fast disappearing in the remote areas; (b) a compendium of educational modules, methodologies and trainings, realised by didactisation of the authentic original materials collected, to be used by HEIs, re-skilling institutions and organisations promoting sustainable tourism. The consortium will collaborate intensively to transfer know-how, experience and good practices. The Ecuador and El Salvador partners will collect and record materials among the vulnerable indigenous communities in remote areas, transcribe and translate them into Spanish. The European partners will develop the online portal and educational modules, methodology trainings and sustainable tourism support modules based on the authentic materials. Then, the Ecuador and El Salvador partners will pilot the educational modules, methodologies, and sustainable tourism support materials in their HEI´s already existing and newly-establish programmes as well as in re-skilling workshops and trainings. Finally, all partners will present the portal to target audiences (educators, social workers, tourist agents) in Latin America and the EU.The aim of the project is to use a combination of technologies, education and cultural heritage preservation to improve the situation of vulnerable indigenous communities in remote areas in an environment-friendly and sustainable way.
