The CAC Sowing Hope even more visible

The Cultural Learning Field (CAC) Sowing Hope, has taken a significant flight that makes it more visible to the community, not only university, but also the region.

During the third quarter of this year, the Cultural Learning Field (CAC) Sowing Hope has taken significant flight, making it more visible to the community, not only university, but also the region, as it has gone beyond the physical limits of the institution to interact with the population of the surrounding municipalities.

This is thanks to the experiences developed, which, as documented in their Digital Learning Plan, follow a common thread: from building vermicomposters as the foundation for home gardens to cultivate corn, with the aim of producing traditional beverages using a rainwater harvesting irrigation system. These beverages will be served in handcrafted vessels. All these elements of the process have been shared in a didactic way through various audiovisual media, such as videos, documentaries, infographics, podcasts, graphic presentations, and live broadcasts.

As part of the CAC's "Sowing Hope" initiative, new activities such as making corn tamales were added. These were carried out by the university community for the enjoyment of families. Knowledge managers, administrative staff, and alumni gathered on campus to collaborate on the entire process: shelling corn, grinding it, assembling the tamales, and cooking them. Around 600 tamales were prepared, emphasizing traditional, artisanal, and ancestral flavors.

Likewise, in an effort to integrate the region's inhabitants, initiatives have been launched to create home gardens. The ICAM School was given space to showcase a rainwater harvesting system, and the system at the El Tibar Agro-environmental Unit was also presented. All of this contributes to our cultural heritage, defining our identity and sowing seeds of hope.
