EPSULA Portal Launches: A New Gateway to Indigenous Knowledge and Cultural Inclusion
After two years of dedicated international collaboration, the EPSULA portal has officially launched, offering public access to a rich collection of video interviews in seven indigenous languages from Ecuador and El Salvador.
The portal has been created over two years of intensive work. In the first year, colleagues from Ecuador and El Salvador visited several indigenous communities and conducted video interviews in native languages.
See the results at https://www.epsula.eu/en/portal .
These videos, edited and subtitled in Spanish and English, formed the foundation for the 12 EPSULA modules developed during the second year of the project, which offer an overview of the cultures, beliefs, and ways of life of the indigenous peoples of Ecuador and El Salvador. Now available in both Spanish and English, the portal is open to the public.
The collection of seven indigenous languages featured in the videos and the various pedagogical methodologies used in the activities create a portal characterized by vast cultural diversity, with uses extending far beyond simple electronic archiving or use in university classes: activities in museums and libraries, workshops with schools of various grades, training sessions with remote and vulnerable communities are just some of the experiences already carried out with this powerful tool for cultural inclusion and awareness.
