Reviving Tzotzil Culture Through Innovative Gaming
January 24, 2025 - 06:37
Manuel Pérez is pioneering an exciting initiative that combines technology and culture by developing a video game aimed at teaching children the Tzotzil language. This innovative project draws inspiration from traditional Tzotzil stories and the rich worldview of the Tzotzil people, making the learning process both engaging and enjoyable for young audiences.
As part of the 2024 Mayan Languages Digital Activism Program, Pérez's game seeks to create interactive spaces where children can immerse themselves in their cultural heritage while acquiring language skills. By utilizing storytelling elements familiar to the Tzotzil community, the game fosters a deeper understanding of their traditions and values.
This approach not only preserves the Tzotzil language but also encourages a new generation to connect with their roots in a modern context. Through gaming, Pérez hopes to inspire pride in Tzotzil identity and promote the importance of cultural preservation in today’s digital age.
