Narrativas sonoras para niños desde la tradición oral kichwa. Serie de adaptaciones

Abstract

Oral tradition is evidence of the cultural richness of Ecuador’s peoples and nationalities. Conservation of this knowledge is of vital importance but also its diffusion. This can include new plataforms so there’s greater access and thus speak of a true democratization of education, information and knowledge. Within this framework, this product will take extracts of bibliographical compilations of kichwa’s oral tradition, adapting and transforming them to a radio drama format, which can be diffused in digital plataforms and/or traditional radio. This proyect borns not just as an attempt to preserve peoples’ cultural richness but as a way to give boys and girls of mestizo communities, from seven to eleven years old, an expericience that’s similar to oral tradition, thus contributing to a intercultural education The final product is presented on a compact disc, which contains a series of twelve sound adaptations of myths and tales that serve as a tool for transmission of ancestral values and knowledge, where it’s made visible how sound adaptations can be a powerful tool to bring oral tradition experience to children of the mestizo community.
