La educación en restauración frente a la pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

The pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the social consequences it has brought, has led to the reconfiguration of teaching practices in conservation-restoration in Mexico, the teachers and students of have had to generate strategies to continue learning at home. Every effort has been made to develop the competitions of each subject or workshop, classes were maintained online, an attempt was made to balance the academic load and to be empathetic with the mental health situation of all those involved, however, the practical work and the social relationship of the students with the cultural communities has been totally stopped. Our current situation has created spaces for reflection to rethink teaching work in order to fulfill the commitments established with the students and with the communities with which we work. The challenges not only arise in the classrooms, they also transfer to aspects of academic and administrative management. The new reality entails the creation of new cultural policies or regulations, especially in the way education is perceived within the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH).
