Cachí's Archeological Heritage emerged in 2020 as a response to a series of actions of destruction towards the archaeological heritage of the Cachí district. Also, the objective of the project was to promote awareness and linkage of archaeological heritage in the Cachí community through the creation of virtual resources that will facilitate the socialization of archaeological sites and their historical value. Therefore, we created Facebook and Instagram pages to make informative publications.Then, the project won a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and Youth, which allowed the creation of various informative materials like: podcasts, audiograms and virtual conversations with the community. Which promoted an active response from people with Facebook and Instagram pages, which resulted in the rescue of the community's memory around heritage. In conclusion, the importance of involving communities in the socialization of heritage value and conservation actions is emphasized, especially in times where the use of technologies is daily.
