Propuesta de turismo creativo a partir de la artesanía en cerámica del municipio de Ráquira Boyacá, que contribuye con el aprendizaje significativo de los niños.

Abstract

The tourist practice that takes place in Raquira's municipality from Boyacá Colombia, allows crafts to be taken as a resource only for economic consumption purposes, and does not give tourists, particularly children, the possibility to interact and participate in the cultural experience of crafts. Tour operators do not consider children as travelers, only as companions, thus losing the possibility of developing tourism products that promote learning and cultural appreciation in children. Taking into account the above, the applied methodology was mixed, that is, quantitative (counting data through surveys) and qualitative (narrative method, qualities and characteristics), among the objectives was characterized the process of artisanal manufacture of ceramics in the municipality of Ráquira was characterized, it was sought to know the perception of parents regarding the participation of children in a proposal of creative tourism based on handicrafts in Ráquira and finally a protocol was designed for the elaboration of a creative clay handicraft, aimed at the children of the San Miguel Arcángel school (Mosquera / Cundinamarca) based on the artisan tradition of Ráquira Boyacá. Tourism can be seen as a strategy or instrument for the meaningful learning of school-age children from the artisanal clay work carried out in the municipality of Ráquira, in the same way, it generates early awareness about the importance of national cultural manifestations and the role of tourism in its recreation, conservation and dissemination.
