This article examines the results of the community practice developed in the Corporación Cultural Gestusilere in the city of Neiva, Huila, focused on inclusive education and its impact on the perception and learning of cultural heritage by the deaf community. This research adopted a qualitative approach based on a social diagnosis, which made it possible to identify the main needs within the company and to propose a comprehensive implementation project for learning about cultural heritage. The methodology involved a series of diagnostic and summative workshops. Thus, the Gestusitour project was designed to bring the community closer to the cultural spaces of Neiva and to encourage reflection on the importance of heritage. The main results are the visualization of the deaf community, its participation in cultural processes and the understanding of its relevance in the regional identity. It also revealed the challenges and scarce opportunities for this community, highlighting the relevancy of inclusive initiatives to promote cultural awareness and social development.
