Since February 2019, the project Endless Oaxaca Multilingüe (EOM) of the Fundación Alfredo Harp Helú Oaxaca has made use of the StoryWeaver platform to generate content in Triqui, Chatino, Chocholteco, Mixe and other languages for the Oaxacan version of Endless Oaxaca Multilingüe.
Based on this experience and the positive reception of the stories in Oaxaca, the EOM project and StoryWeaver are exploring new dimensions of this partnership in order to create children’s reading materials in the indigenous languages of Oaxaca and Mexico.
Working together with the Intercultural Education and Mediation Laboratory, at the Autonomous University of Querétaro, EOM has developed a collection of animated videos from the stories available in StoryWeaver. They have also created versions of books for digital reading in the form of printable PDFs to be shared in schools or community libraries. Having created about 380 different stories, Each book or video that they have produced has a version in Spanish and in the selected indigenous language.
