Kernaia

Kernaia is a project born from the need to digitalize the traditional pedagogical design to teach indigenous languages. In addition to reducing the digital divide through citizen participation, the objective of this initiative is to facilitate the learning process of new generations. The positive experience of the pilot project "Aprendamos Mixteco" prompted the organizations involved to continue developing this type of applications. For this reason, they designed, in collaboration with members of the Purepecha community and artists, the application "Aprendamos Purépecha". From this second experience, Kernaia became an open innovation project. Currently, applications for learning indigenous languages are co-created with communities, promoting the digital inclusion of these minorities and fostering their cultures at the local and national levels.

Institutional design

?

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?

Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
