BACQUET PEREZ, Caroline Nicole Oriana y BATRES QUEVEDO, Jorge Alejandro. Knitting and Environmental Education in Kichwa Communities of Tena, Ecuador. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.1, pp.1-17. ISSN 2215-2989. http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v9i1.2226.
This article describes such an experience: knitting Amazonian animals with Kichwa women, as a strategy for education and environmental conservation; without any formal framework, predefined objectives or pre-established goals. As the process developed, it also showed a potential for productive entrepreneurship, acquiring of soft skills, development of bonds between women, and interrelations between conservation of biodiversity and culture. Because it is an open process, theoretical conclusions have not been produced; however, the experiences and lessons learned can serve as a reference for similar initiatives.
