Seminar Importance
The Seminar Rethinking Maya Culture emerges as a space for dialogue and reflection within the framework of participatory action-research, where the voice of Maya communities from Hopelchén, Campeche, takes center stage. Its importance lies in allowing recognition and visibility of the current role of Maya culture in sustainability, understood not only as environmental care, but also as the preservation of identity, community practices and ancestral knowledge.
The relevance of the seminar lies in its knowledge co-creation approach: community representatives, academics and social actors meet in a horizontal dialogue space that promotes the collective construction of alternatives for the country's economic, cultural and social development.
This seminar strengthens the NODESS mission by articulating efforts between educational institutions, cooperatives, local authorities and civil organizations, consolidating a support and mutual learning network that enriches both academic and community life.
In this way, it becomes a means to rethink the future from the roots of Maya culture, valuing its contribution as a living heritage and as an engine of social innovation.
