El Buen Vivir is a multiplatform project of the Comisión Nacional de Comunicación de los Pueblos Indígenas, CONCIP that invites you to discover a part of the immense cultural richness of us, the native peoples of Colombia. We want to share our models of solutions to different problems associated with our current realities. This is not a simple recipe book but ideals and practices inspired by different approaches to solidarity economy, food sovereignty, rights of nature, human rights, biodiversity protection, territorial defense, good governance, spiritual communication, conflict resolution and citizen coexistence in the cultural difference.
The project contributes to build an inclusive space for the diverse indigenous peoples of the country, making visible their knowledge, traditions and cultures. In this platform you will find the stories created by the collectives and communication processes of 30 Indigenous Peoples of Colombia, which so far has three seasons: Season 1 (Year 2019), Season 2 (Year 2020) and Season 3 (Year 2021); Season 4 is in development. We invite you to know our audiovisual stories that are broadcasted on television, behind the scenes, characters, podcasts and information about our peoples.
This project originates in the implementation of the Public Communication Policy of and for Indigenous Peoples and its Unified Indigenous Television Plan, in the spirit of beginning to materialize one of the actions of the Content Program for Indigenous Audiovisual Sovereignty. In this context, the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies, MinTIC, by committing to materialize the agreements with the Indigenous Peoples, supports the realization of El Buen Vivir in a joint work between CONCIP, Canal Trece, the Natibo Foundation (Seasons 1, 2, and 3) and the Indigenous Organization of La Guajira YANAMA (Season 4).
