Durante el 2020 y 2021 en medio de la pandemia que ha sufrido el mundo entero llamada SARS-COV-2 o COVID19, y que detuvo casi todas las actividades, también nos afectó como organización, al tener que cambiar nuestras formas de trabajo y cercanía con las artesanas, al detener nuestros cursos, talleres de reflexión y capacitaciones que se desarrollaban de forma presencial.
Sin embargo, continuamos impulsando el trabajo productivo y de organización, se generaron alianzas importantes como la iniciativa Ensamble Artesano, impulsada por Fundación Haciendas del Mundo Maya A.C. que busca reactivar la economía del sector artesanal de nuestro País, en la que participamos con 14 Empresas Sociales de Mujeres Artesanas, de los estados de Chiapas, Puebla, Hidalgo, Oaxaca y Chihuahua, beneficiando a 164 mujeres artesanas, quienes durante los meses de octubre, noviembre y diciembre desarrollaron una colección de edición limitada, asegurando ingresos seguros durante este tiempo.
En el proceso creativo participaron diseñadoras de forma voluntaria para el desarrollo de las colecciones bajo la curaduría de Design Week México, el equipo operativo estuvo en constante comunicación con las artesanas y con las diseñadoras de tal modo que se de genero un dialogo importante entre la innovación y la tradición bajo principios de respeto, valorización y reconocimiento de los conocimientos de las artesanas, como parte de los sistemas de la Red Binacional.
Debido a la limitación de la movilidad se utilizaron plataformas de comunicación con las artesanas como zoom, llamadas y videollamadas de whatsapp, y aplicando los sistemas propuestos por la Red, las artesanas calcularon los costos de producción y la capacidad productiva de la ESMAS para planear la producción.
Para el desarrollo de la iniciativa, la Red Binacional brindo capacitación y acompañamiento a distancia a través de los siguientes sistemas empresariales:

Because of the mobility limitation, communication platforms with artisans such as zoom, whatsapp calls and video calls were used, applying the systems proposed by the Red Binacional, the artisans calculated the production costs and productive capacity of ESMAS to plan the production.
For the development of the initiative, the Red Binacional provides remote training and accompaniment through the following business systems:
For this end, the Red Binacional designed and strengthened internal production regulations and collective training, as an important asset in the transfer of knowledge that allows them to strengthen their skills and position themselves in better market conditions.
