The Raizal community of the Tom Hooker neighborhood on San Andres Island, Colombia, the Local Organization "Smith Channel Association for the Development of the Raizal People", Healing Coral Foundation, and La Banca de Inversión Sostenible have set themselves the goal of recovering history, culture and the Raizal community; creating the MAR Wisdom Center, an itinerant knowledge center, in which all members of the community mainly: children, teenegers, women, and tourists will be able to receive training by participating in workshops and virtual reality experiences, focused on explaining the importance of regeneration and caring for marine ecosystems, among other subjects also involving Creole music and dance traditions in our workshops.
The FARMERS AND FOOD MARKET initiative, which over the years has become the space where the community shares its gastronomic knowledge with the habitants and tourists of the island, while generating and strengthening income for their food security, will be part of the activities of the center.
