Lecture

Training community communicators to reinforce the Kichwa language

 

Kichwa Wayrapi Collective is an alternative digital communication platform created to contribute to the revitalization of the Kichwa language. This medium stands out from mainstream media because it communicates from an Andean perspective, encompassing the experiences and personal experiences of each territory. The communication is heartfelt, reflecting our thoughts and roots, that is, in our Kichwa language.
