The City Council of La Oliva, through the Department of Primary Sector, managed by Rub\u00e9n Gonz\u00e1lez, promotes under the project \u201cFrom the land\u201d, the dissemination of agriculture and livestock. The aim of this initiative is to publicize the professions developed in the land of Fuerteventura in order to value the richness and cultural roots and show new generations and the rest of the population, the important role of these tasks for the municipality. <\/p>\n
The activities will take place in Tindaya and La Caldereta, two of the rural villages of La Oliva, aiming not only to teach the work of these professions, but also to point out the possibilities they continue to offer. These activities seek a reconnection with the roots and essence of the majorero people and have, in turn, as a requirement, a new paradigm, sustainable local development. In this sense, the professions are adapted to current demands and needs, preserving tradition without neglecting the reality faced not only by the sector, but also by the circumstances in which they are framed. <\/p>\n
The mayor of La Oliva, Isa\u00ed Blanco, stresses the importance of promoting theoretical but also practical knowledge of the ancient means of subsistence: \u201cThis project brings the new generations closer to the reality of our island and the main sources of livelihood of yesteryear. In this sense, it opens, in turn, a new horizon to the youngest of the municipality so that they can learn about the possibilities of working in these tasks of the land, in these professions that are our tradition and history of Fuerteventura\u201d.<\/p>\n
Likewise, the councilman of Primary Sector, Rub\u00e9n Gonz\u00e1lez continues to highlight the work that must be done from the Administration to promote the promotion of our traditions: \u201cUndoubtedly, trades of our primary sector such as agriculture and livestock are the history of our land, defines who we were as majorero people with customs that survive to this day, so it is vital to continue betting on its dissemination among our young people\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cForgetting about these jobs means, therefore, forgetting who we were. Through these activities taught to children in schools, we focus on who our ancestors were and what they lived on, while planting a seed in the minds of our young people so that they can discover an alternative profession with which to continue this legacy,\u201d Gonzalez emphasizes. <\/p>\n
This activity reflects the will of the Consistory not only to continue with the promotion of the tradition and customs of the Island, but also to promote the Primary Sector in the municipality, on this occasion, through the dissemination of the trades of the land among the youngest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
