This digital ethnoherbarium is the result of the project promoted by the Chair of language and Basque Culture of the University and financed in its dissemination aspect by the Government of Navarre, for the consolidation of educational materials that bring together the areas of Ethnography and Botany. The design and the start of its implementation with a pilot group in the Roncal Valley was at position of the historian and ethnologist of Etniker Pablo Orduna Portús, the botanist Virginia Pascual López and the teacher Aritz Larraia Medina. The materials and dynamics of work have been developed with the aim of making the ethnobotanical activity feasible both with student of 4th, 5th and 6th of Education Primary, students of Education Secondary and extracurricular groups of young people between 10 and 16 years old (scouts, educational reinforcements, cultural associations, etc.). The project is part of the process of finding by young people of their own community cultural landscape. Through the implementation of the different stages or phases of the activity, young people can take contact with the tangible and intangible heritage, as well as the natural and ethnographic heritage of their locality, valley or region of residency program. At the same time, the established methodology of work allows the contact with printed scientific sources, the building of intergenerational relationships with their elders and the development of different social, linguistic and digital competences. All of this is based on participant observation and involvement with the people of their homeland.

Javier Muñoz, painter and illustrator, born in Pamplona in 1978, tells us about the present with his work, managing - in the words of Baudelaire in The Painter of Modern Life - "to glimpse hints of infinity in the heart of the prosaic and degrading peremptoriness of the world". Because of the tension between official document and vital necessity, the variety of techniques to which Javier Muñoz resorts are nothing but new fields of expressive freedom, open possibilities to give vent to what explodes in the entrails, staining oils and tearing collages; or concentrating on minimal, precise, exact forms, exact in their simple calligraphic rhetoric, of universal meaning. That is why these illustrations have been published in some of the most prestigious media in the world, such as The Washington Post, CNN, The Guardian, Folha de S. Paolo, El País, Le Monde or Gulf News.
