For the development of this work, workshops on drying and solar cooking techniques were carried out in rural communities in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, as a strategy to encourage social participation and promote the development of rural productive projects based on renewable energies. We use posters, brochures, and stories to transmit scientific and technical information and participatory dynamics with a transdisciplinary approach designed and defined for each target audience to achieve good integration and encourage the participation of all people from different age groups. The workshops aim to get people to know, accept, and then appropriate the knowledge about drying processes and solar cooking to promote the development of community-based productive projects. Through the workshops, we create links with each community and spaces for the exchange of ideas. We articulate all the knowledge during the construction of solar stoves in situ as a social participation strategy, which allows us to introduce new ideas generated by all the people around the use of solar energy. During the waiting times for the cooking, dialogue and the exchange of knowledge, recipes, tastes, and culinary traditions were encouraged. The leading group could always talk about the science in each of these processes so that the community received the new knowledge in a relaxed and comfortable environment, hence the ease of engaging in dialogues of expertise, of accepting and giving new meaning to this new knowledge. This epistemic process made visible other essential dimensions of using solar energy and its usefulness. Based on the exit surveys, we valued the acceptance of the technologies. Cooking had greater acceptance in all cases and communities since it means something helpful that solves a daily problem: cooking. | |
