Escucharnos desde lejos: emociones, derechos y el poder de la palabra

Abstract

This project, developed as an internship in partnership with the In-Ju Huellas Foundation, involved designing and implementing, remotely, a rights-based language teaching proposal focused on orality and socio-emotional development for children and adolescents in regions such as Norte de Santander, Catatumbo, Arauca, and Meta. Using Participatory Action Research (PAR), a situated pedagogical process was constructed that responded to contexts marked by conflict, unstable internet connectivity, and diverse family dynamics. The experience was organized into five modules that integrated identity, listening, rights, territory, and nature. The results demonstrated that language, approached as a right and as a safe space for emotional expression, strengthened students' participation, identity, and voice, also impacting their families and fostering a critical, ethical, and committed approach among teachers to a rights-based education that is sensitive to the local context.
