Teotihuacan, the enigmatic city of the gods, protects the material remains of one of the most impressive cities of antiquity. A site of reverence, heritage, and symbol of the cultural, artistic, political, and religious wealth of the Mesoamerican cultures. It is also home to a vibrant community, which has fought through the centuries to keep alive its traditions, identity, and territory.<\/p>\n
For the last twenty years, the Red Ind\u00edgena de Turismo de M\u00e9xico A.C (RITA) has promoted tourism as a trigger for community development throughout the area. For this reason, on May 3, 2022, the Equitable Origin (EO) team, led by the director of CEFO, Joaqu\u00edn Wray, and the CEFO coordinator in Mexico, Metztli Hern\u00e1ndez; had the opportunity to meet in this iconic place with the leadership of RITA, its president Ricardo Campos Quezada, and two founding members: Roberto Campos Hernandez and Jos\u00e9 Antonio Medina Oviedo.<\/p>\n

La noci\u00f3n de conectividad fue el hilo conductor de la reuni\u00f3n, tomando como punto de partida, las l\u00edneas de acci\u00f3n establecidas en 2020: Promover la labor del CEFO en M\u00e9xico; Mejorar el acceso a internet y conectividad en zonas rurales; Generar materiales de divulgaci\u00f3n y consulta vinculados al fortalecimiento de los derechos ind\u00edgenas, la defensa del territorio, el desarrollo sustentable y la cultura de los pueblos originarios. Tras discutir la relevancia de contar con canales de comunicaci\u00f3n adecuados, que atiendan tanto a las necesidades de los usuarios como a las vicisitudes del medio, se mencion\u00f3 la importancia de generar nuevos cuadros de liderazgo y abonar al fortalecimiento de la Red, ello a trav\u00e9s del desarrollo de capacidades tecnol\u00f3gicas. Entre las cuales destaca, la alfabetizaci\u00f3n medi\u00e1tica, para fomentar el flujo de informaci\u00f3n y dotar de mayor visibilidad los diversos emprendimientos que la conforman.<\/p>\n
Ricardo Campos Quezada and Joaqu\u00edn Wray stated before the Ibero-American Foundation for Development (FIDE) that it is in everyone's best interest to establish an alliance. The notion of connectivity was the common thread of the meeting. It leads from the lines of action set in 2020: promoting the CEFO Ind\u00edgena in Mexico and improving internet access and connectivity in rural areas. In addition, we discussed the importance of generating new leads and contributing to the strengthening of the Network through the development of technological capabilities.<\/p>\n
Later, we had the opportunity to visit the site museum and the archaeological zone of Teotihuac\u00e1n, obtaining a glimpse of its enormous artistic, cultural, and environmental importance. We also visited the CCT to learn about the state of the property and the requirements for its inauguration. Finally, we returned to the \"Techinanco\" restaurant, one of the most successful ventures promoted by RITA in San Mart\u00edn de las Pir\u00e1mides.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to all of those who made this meeting possible!<\/p>\n
There, Do\u00f1a Emma, \u200b\u200bone of the organization's longest-standing members, delighted us with tales about her experiences as a member of the Network and guardian of the Teotihuacan fire.<\/p>\n
