Preservación de los juegos tradicionales a través de la oralidad de los abuelos de la asociación niños y niñas del barrio cuberos niño por medio de un corto documental.

Abstract

This research project aims to preserve the traditional games passed down by the grandparents of the Asociación Niños y Niñas in the Cuberos Niño neighborhood, located in sector ten (10) of the city of San José de Cúcuta, Colombia. Through the short documentary titled "Caja de recuerdos" (Memory Box), the oral stories of the elderly about the games that were an essential part of their childhood and youth are collected. These games played a fundamental role in the social, communicational, and human development of the community. However, with technological advances and innovation, these games have gradually disappeared, resulting in a loss of local cultural identity. In response to this problem, the documentary aims to highlight the importance of these games in community life, inviting younger generations to value and revive these practices. The methodology is qualitative, with a phenomenological approach, which means it focuses on understanding the perceptions or interpretations of different lived experiences. Additionally, it implements Participatory Action Research (PAR), basing the investigation on the active participation of the communities being studied.
