Resumen

The present research has as its fundamental purpose to highlight the cultural identity of the artisanal sector of Barrancabermeja, through the development of strategies that allow the strengthening of the sector, the representation of culture through local handicrafts and the potentialization of handicrafts in the national market, as well as how to contribute to the economic growth of craft families and the economy of the Region, based on associativity.
