La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Lifestyle of Wayuu people, the largest indigenous group in Colombia, has been rapidly changing. As they migrate to cities, their traditions and knowledge (they call it Sukuaipa Wayuu) may not survive for next generations despite recent efforts to preserve part of it (http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/index.php?lg=en&pg=00011&RL=00435). While attributes such as Wayuu naiki language are not practical for urban life, indigenous youth grow up surrounded by an upcoming availability of a global source of knowledge through information and communication technologies.
Our challenge is to offer education for Wayuu children that covers their current needs and makes them realize their identity. We want ICT to be used by children and youth to explore, understand and express Sukuaipa Wayuu.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
We are looking forward to asking students to comprehend Sukuaipa Wayuu, by encouraging them to carry a dialogue with other community members and external agents and make a film, a website, blogs or similar projects.
They would have the tools to build an aesthetic definition of being Wayuu and would then release those views as a new discourse to be shared with their communities. We are expecting to have much attention from students as they have the chance of getting involved in the creation and production of multimedia contents.
El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias
How to plan and make the best out of our resources:
First step: To build a network of 10-12 people from arts, media and culture areas. They would be interested in participating as tutors in a five-week residency with a team of school students for the production of digital contents.
Second step: To promote leaders and teachers to invite students to make a proposal. The organization would like to have a workshop with those spokesmen so they catch the entire vision of the project.
Third step: To assess the proposals and make a wishlist of digital assets such as cameras, recorders, storage units, network devices, software and others that might be needed.
Fourth step: Strengthen the most coherent proposals and evaluate the capability of the groups to improve and profit their idea.
Fifth step: Select three projects that best comprehend the mission of the project and choose who would be the tutor for each team.

At the national level, Transformemos foundation is leading the most ambitious project on conservation of minorities languages and cultures with a negro community . They focus on the use of the written language as a key to safeguard the culture. The budget of this organization is much larger than ours. Wayuumunsurat is a grassroots organization, members are all directly involved in the improvement of chances for Wayuu children and youth.

Impacto social
Esta presentación se trata de
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
Right now we have involved four people in the brainstorming on the approach and publishing channels of the contents. Three of them are interested in participating as tutors if they are available when the project starts.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We expect to catch attention from local society on how everyone can make change by taking the right choices, regardless of their position. We would join voices claiming for the State to implement an adequate system for the protection of indigenous peoples through education.
Particularly, we anticipate that Wayuu communities would gather around safeguarding their cultural heritage- Sukuaipa Wayuu. This might be a start point for initiatives using digital media to promote it, with some chances if raising incomes out of it.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.
In 2010, we were working with Fundación Sociedad Internet in a research project to identify how ICT could be used by Wayuu to safeguard their cultural heritage. While looking for leadership for promoting initiatives that would allow us measure how much ICT could contribute, we realized that adults were not linked to the internet as an opportunities showcase. Instead, younger leaders caught the message and a group teachers proposed students to be the first group to work with. Finally, we are taking that advise.
Sostenibilidad
Cuéntanos sobre tus alianzas.
This project is actually looking for support from the Inter-American Development Bank and a mining corporation. Changemakers competition is part of this search for funding.
But we also have a task by organizing the labor of tutors, which are artists, media experts and cultural researchers. They help us to select the best projects and get involved in the creation and production of the contents.
¿Qué tipo de equipo (personal, voluntarios, etc.) te asegurará que logres las metas de crecimiento identificadas en la sección de Impacto social/i>?
- Two social professionals dedicated during one month to promote the project and make agreements with the schools. They would then be engaged part time in the logistics of tutors and materials and must encourage deadlines accomplishment.
- A network of about ten to twelve potential tutors, located in different cities of Colombia and Venezuela. Each project would have only one tutor for five weeks, but the network would be always supporting every team.
- The project manager will be in charge of financial and legal duties, leads selection processes and supervise contents and projects.
Por favor, pon en claro las necesidades u ofertas que hayas mencionado anteriormente y/o sugiere categorías de apoyo que no están especificadas en la lista
Any help to strengthen our comprehension of media and ICT use are welcome, from books to mentorships to courses. We are not experts on these issues, just understand how important they are.
We are kind to receiving proposals for joint projects or sharing experiences with other organizations. We might receive residents or interns that are interested in working with Wayuu community.
