| Sumario: | Although technological tools have grown all over the world, its integration into the rural sector has been significantly delayed. This gap in the access and use of technologies must be reduced to avoid the inequalities that emerge as a result of this with respect to the rest of society. This paper summarizes the main contributions of the project "Peddlers of mountain herbs as potential ecotourism guides of the Bamba and La Calera Nature Reserve: A participatory proposal for local socio-environmental and economic development" (SEU-UNC, 2017). The recovery of traditional ethnobotanical knowledge was promoted, as well as its sustainable use through different technological knowledge and resources. To this end, workshops were held with local schools and institutions, and a group of ecotourism guides was formed, which used their traditional knowledge and the tools acquired to carry out their work. It should be noted that one of the main ideas that make up this work is to build precompetitive technological capabilities, from human development, in contexts of inequality such as the one we are dealing with here. Based on this interactive learning experience, the actors involved in the rural area in the project were able to develop tools and abilities that allow them to incorporate themselves into the new social dynamics mediated by technologies legitimately and in the long term. |
