Abstract
At the matrix technology room —a possibility offered by the Program of Journalism of Pontificia Universidad Javeriana— the native Amerindians of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia, went through a “conversion” and digital convergence experience to create and develop their own independent media. With Mother Nature’s due permission, they started a process of incorporating new technologies vis-à-vis the production of journalistic and audiovisual material in their languages supported by their traditional wisdom. Since then, they have continued their search for their own narrative identity in order to describe to their “younger brothers” what in fact happens in their territory, an environmental and spiritual reserve of humanity. In the following accounts, four of the workshop’s tutors describe what it was to participate in that intercultural gathering full of educational affects and challenges.
