We are
Talokan

We are a Civil Association focused on connecting and promoting different cultures, where we offer the opportunity to live, share and learn from them, obtaining an expansion of criteria and knowledge for all those involved. At Talokan México we are interested in the growth of communities, in addition to your personal and professional growth.



Talokan

Talokan is a Nahuatl word that means "the essence of the ground" or "the origin of all things." We chose this word to name our association because our projects have the objective of offering an experience from our roots in indigenous communities.

Talokan is the seed, "the earthly paradise of the coexistence of man and nature."

Dialogues, stories, legends, stories, crafts, beliefs, activities, clothing, flora, fauna, plants, parties, stories, rites, sayings, dance, dance, education, and more ... Living in Talokan Mexico awaits you.

Mission

We are an A.C. focused on promoting education, culture, and research through training programs carried out in indigenous communities. Promoting personal and collaborative development through an exchange of learning.

View

To be a replicable program at a national and international level, achieving an exchange of knowledge to promote social awareness.

DIANA MEJÍA BEDOYA
Coordinadora de grupos Colombia

My name is Diana Mejía Bedoya, I studied architecture in the city of Medellín, Colombia. In 2016 I had the opportunity to visit Tlatlauquitepec, Puebla. There I had a unique experience with some of the local communities. Every day they offered me a new apprenticeship amid exceptional landscapes. Talokan is that door to connect with Mexico and its impressive culture, roots, and people, it is a trip with social objectives that stays in the soul.

CECILIA SÁNCHEZ ESTEBAN
Community Leader "Túnel Dos"

Hello, my name is Cecilia Sánchez Esteban, I like to be in Talokan because it is a non-profit, non-political association. Also because it brings different ways of learning for children that we have never had in this area. Thanks to Talokan, boys and girls have a new way of traveling and imagining the world in our Reading House.

RUMULADA RAMOS FERRER
Community Leader "Zacatipan"

I like being a Talokan leader because I like children to learn, to become more involved in reading and that will lead to an open mind and world.

MARCELO MARTÍNEZ
Nahuatl teacher

One of the most important cultural elements that turn out to be rescued today is the Nahuatl language since this is not simply the most widely spoken language in our country and with more variants, but, because it gives us an identity as Mexicans, it is the language of our ancestors and with which we forge a history.

Today, speaking the Nahuatl language and/or understanding its importance, allows us to perceive a culture, understand the worldview of a community, observe and value our history as Mexicans, and, therefore, we keep our identity as human beings alive...
