In 2019 we started an educational project funded by the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, together with the local NGO Loq’laj Ch’och’ or “Sacred Earth” (in Q’eqchi’ Maya). The project was called: Reconstructing Maya History and Religion with the Maya people.
Our series of workshops were disrupted by the Coronavirus outbreak. Seeking an appropriate conclusion of the project we decided, in consultation with the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, to have a one-time responsible event: the presentation of the book that came out of the project. The attendance of each event was controlled by not allowing too many participants at once. This way, students at least enjoyed a formal closure of this project, receiving at the same time their diploma.
