Intercultural Communication as a practice for the rescue of agricultural knowledge and wisdom of the mestizo people

Abstract

This article discusses essential aspects of intergenerational intercultural dialogic communication as a practice for the rescue of ancestral knowledge and wisdom in the agricultural production of the mestizo people from Siuna, Autonomous Region of the North Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua (RACCN). The techniques used in the study were conversation, focus groups and observation. The people involved were mestizo community leaders, grandparents, youth, men and women from Siuna, who live in the communities located on the road to Waslala, Rosita and Mulukukú. The qualitative data processing was possible to codify categories and comparisons between the groups assisted in the use of matrices and triangulation of information. The underlying approach of this study shows that the mestizo population has expressions and forms of communication that are their own and practiced from their worldview ensuring that they transmit knowledge and knowledge in agricultural production.
