4 research phases ordered as follows:
Diagnosis, Design, Implementation and
Evaluation. A pedagogical strategy was
built consisting of: 1) The “BirdBox” kit
tool that used the interaction of families
in a synchronous and asynchronous
way with environmental concepts
from activities such as workshops on
the generalities of birds, knowing the
importance of their beak, legs, feathers
and edges; 2) Bird watching workshop,
where the morphology and habits
of these species were recognized, in
addition to developing citizen science
activities through the eBird platform; 3)
Workshop of artistic experiences for the
construction of different models of birds
present in our territory and reflection
on the environmental impacts that
threaten biodiversity; 4) Festival called
“The birds of your neighborhood” where
