Abstract

Service-Learning (SL) is an experiential learning methodology that is applied in multiple fields, one of them being the Ceramics Workshop to which this article refers. The Ceramics Workshop arises as a form of artistic expression of the community of Guayama Grande in the Andean páramo of Chugchilán in Cotopaxi. Here, for two and a half years "”before and during the COVID-19 pandemic"”students, teachers and the community have put into practice a methodology based on recovering their memory and revitalizing their language, both of which are fundamental in building their world, with ceramics as the mechanism of interpretation of that world, which has been in "oblivion" for years. The Workshop becomes a vehicle for exchange and mutual learning. This has allowed the emergence of a community image sculptor who, putting into practice the acquired knowledge and the concept of ayni, Andean reciprocity, has been able to share the art of ceramics with other communes and places, promoting well-being (SDG3) and quality education (SDG4).
