A digital approach to preserving culture.

Students from the AIS volunteer for WHO initiative.

In Mexico, Apple has been working closely with educational institutions across the country to help set up and launch iOS Development Labs — bringing coding with the programming language Swift to students and preparing them for careers in Mexico’s iOS app economy. Among these institutions is the Wixárika School of Higher Secondary Education.

The Wixáritari are the largest Indigenous community in Jalisco, Mexico. As the world around them continues to digitize, they have been forced to make tough decisions, including leaving their close-knit community in search of educational and economic opportunities in distant cities.

To help ensure that the Wixáritari gain the professional skills they need while also preserving ties to their community, iOS Development Labs at the Universidad de Guadalajara (UdeG), along with regional partner Enactus, is helping them learn how to design, create, and code their own apps.

Freeform provides a flexible canvas across iPhone, iPad, and Mac — bringing conversation topics, content, and ideas all into one place.
