Diseño de talleres de arte como espacios educativos multisensoriales

Abstract

Abstract: The traditional educational system still fails to consider the symbolic knowledge of the ancient pre-Hispanic peoples of the Ecuadorian coast. Therefore, within educational texts, knowledge of these cultures is superficial, scarce, and static. This is one of the causes of the disconnection between the new generations and education and cultural heritage. This research proposes the design and implementation of multisensory art workshops that incorporate pre-Columbian patterns from Manabí as a teaching resource to strengthen creative and cultural learning. These workshops were developed using the Design Thinking methodology, in which workshop participants contributed. As a human-centered methodology, it adapts to this proposal due to its ability to contribute to the revaluation and preservation of Manabí culture. In conclusion, this approach is sustainable because it helps young people feel part of the preservation of their roots, which continue to be a fundamental foundation of the identity of the Ecuadorian coast.
