This initiative, managed by the Heritage department, is part of the events leading up to Canary Islands Day. Its main purpose is to educate students about the importance of traditional attire, its historical characteristics, and the correct use of each garment.
Under the title 'We Dress Traditionally: How Can We Do It?', the sessions allowed participants to closely examine male and female clothing pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries. Aspects such as fabric types, manufacturing techniques, and the correct terminology for each clothing item were also discussed.
“"It is essential to bring heritage closer to young people to ensure its preservation and instill pride in the municipality's cultural roots."
The Heritage councilor emphasized that traditional clothing is an essential part of Canarian history, highlighting the need for its knowledge and respect. She also valued the research work in this field, mentioning the work of a renowned researcher.
The Education councilor noted that these types of activities facilitate the approach of cultural heritage to students in a didactic and participatory manner, strengthening their connection with their environment. This edition saw the participation of schoolchildren from local educational centers, combining dissemination, tradition, and learning.
With this proposal, the San Bartolomé City Council reaffirms its commitment to the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage, using education as a key tool to keep the municipality's traditions alive.
