From 2 to 7 September 2015, the inventorying process moved to the city of Loja, Loja province, where members of Saraguro, Shuar and mestizo communities along with representatives of local governments (Calvas, Catamayo, Chaguarpamba, Gonzanamá, Loja, Olmedo, Paltas, Puyango, Quilanga and Zapotillo) and cultural ministries, were trained on community-based inventorying in the town of Malacatos. This was followed by an inventory exercise where they registered oral traditions and knowledge systems.

Organized by UNESCO and INPC, the workshop was made possible thanks to the generous contribution of the Government of Japan.
