DELGADO RUBIO, Jaime. Archeologists in a Jam. An academic co-creation model and archaeological heritage in Mexico. Innov. educ. (Méx. DF) [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.73, pp.133-152. ISSN 1665-2673.

The periphery of the archaeological city of Teotihuacan is going through a gradual process of destruction due to the unorganized urban growth of its neighboring communities; this has caused clashes between the National Institute of Archaeology and History (INAH) and said communities. This is a multifactorial problem that requires coordinated actions on behalf of the three levels of government involved. However, this article discusses the problem from a generational perspective, based on the fact that at this moment groups of schoolchildren and youth from these communities are creating their own opinions of the problem, learning from the placement of the people in conflict. In this context, we present the origin, development and current state of a scholastic archaeological news report called Archaeologists in a Jam, created with puppets and reported by the schoolchildren themselves, intended to stimulate critical thinking about the value, use and future of the conversation of this heritage.

Keywords : Conservation; creativity; educational innovation; learning; Teotihuacan.
