Historias de vida de niñas y niños de la unidad de protección integral San Francisco modalidad internado - IDIPRON: Un recorrido exploratorio de sus experiencias a través del sonido resonante de sus relatos

Abstract

This research is situated within the framework of the Master's program in Childhood and Culture at the Francisco José de Caldas District University, specifically in the emphasis on Language and Children's Narratives. Its primary objective is to explore and understand the life stories through the accounts of the lived experiences of six (6) girls and one (1) boy residing in the District Institute for the Protection of Childhood and Youth (IDIPRON), particularly in the Integral Protection Unit (UPI) - San Francisco, Cundinamarca, under the internado modality. This study adopts a qualitative approach, allowing for a holistic analysis of the context and interpersonal relationships that emerge from their social environment. Throughout the research, four analytical categories are established to guide the development of the work: Childhood, narratives, experience, and life stories. Additionally, a narrative approach is incorporated, which, through the implementation of a sequence of workshops, facilitates access to the accounts of the children, revealing life stories that reflect the influence of language and culture. For data collection, various methodological techniques and instruments were employed, such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and field diaries. These tools allowed for comprehensive documentation of the characteristics, dynamics, and experiences lived by the children, both in their lives prior to and during their arrival at IDIPRON. "Finally, recognition is given through a book that collects the artistic works developed throughout the research and some of their narratives, which reflect their experiences and life stories."
