«Return to Earth»
We present a digital ethnographic library to preserve traditional recipes and techniques, a documentary series of artisanal products from the countryside, a valuable knowledge that we want to transmit to future generations.
Learning from the past will allow us to recover essential knowledge of self-sufficiency. It’s up to us to not lose this important legacy to take care of our health and the planet earth.
The ethnoclip is a short, dynamic and attractive audiovisual format, with a visual language that combines documentary and ethnography.
The products presented here are made by women on rural farms on the island of Ibiza.
We truly believe in the importance of educating future generations, that is why our commitment is to share all our experience and offer you the possibility of using our educational material so that you can carry out workshops in your school, in your family or in your community.
This educational guide is a resource for teachers to use with children between 10 and 16 years old. It’s organized in units of different topics: preserves, handcrafts, medicinal plants. bakery and basic products.
With this guide we want to present the richness of the rural world in the classrooms to protect traditions because it benefits our health and the environment.

The planet belongs to all the people who inhabit it:
Start where you are, do what you can, use what you have!
We have upcycled 15,000 plastic caps by hand and transformed them into a 3700-pixel mural, aiming to shift perspectives through art and see waste as a resource.
You can admire the artwork on the facade of IES Santa María d’Eivissa, in the heart of Ibiza city.
The mural “Tornem a la Terra” (Returning to the Earth) is part of the “Art, Technology and Environmental Education” project, designed to raise awareness about plastic waste issues. The image of a local farmer invites us to learn more about the educational project “Tornem a la Terra” through the QR code installed on the mural.
This artwork was created by artists Jorge Pineda Bruges, Harmony Hita Torres, and Ezequiel Herrera, who created the original artwork of the farmer Maria Riera Bufi d’es Puch de Sant Rafael.
To develop this mural, we have received a grant from the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, partnered with IES Santa Maria d’Eivissa, and had the support of the Waste Office and the recycling company Plustic Lab. We are grateful to everyone for their support, which has been crucial to the execution of this project.
Thanks to funding from the Balearic Government’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Natural Environment, the 5 didactic units of the “Tornem a la Terra” Educational Guide have been printed and distributed to all 42 primary schools and 15 secondary schools on the island of Ibiza. Additionally, these funds allowed us to conduct workshops in 71 courses, involving a total of 785 students from the 5th and 6th grades of primary school and 759 secondary school students.
By providing the “Tornem a la Terra” guide to every educational center on the island, we are facilitating the teachers’ work, enabling them to carry out over 50 activities. These activities not only align with the school curriculum but also provide support material for numerous subjects.
Ultimately, the goal is for students to conclude that the production of traditional artisanal products protects both our health and the environment in the short, medium, and long term. Valuing and preserving the richness of our rural traditions is a task for us all.
Thank you for support our projects! More donations, more actions.
