School of Literacy and Interculturality for Maternal and Perinatal Care in Native Communities

This collaborative project between four universities will create a pedagogical strategy in recognizing the importance of ancient knowledge of traditional midwife and native communities in taking care of women during gestation and birth. This will empower international and intercultural encounter spaces and training programs to be adapted in any context. Through this project, students, professors, native communities, and health and education professionals will collaborate to contribute to the equity of human development and improve the quality of the life and health care accessible to women worldwide.
