Tejiendo la identidad de Usme: Narrativas audiovisuales como herramienta pedagógica para la preservación del patrimonio y la identidad cultural en educación secundaria

Abstract

The investigation into the locality of Usme highlights its natural, cultural, and historical wealth, encompassing majestic mountains, parks, and a vibrant cultural diversity that shapes the community's identity. Throughout its history, the inhabitants have fought to preserve their heritage against the threats of forgetting, resulting in social collectives dedicated to this cause. In this context, fostering cultural awareness and ownership, especially among young people who represent the future of Usme, is crucial. This study proposes that audiovisual narratives serve as a bridge between tradition and modernity, enabling secondary school students to explore and connect with their history and culture. The main goal is to design a pedagogical strategy that not only preserves Usme's heritage but also strengthens students' cultural identity through the creation and exchange of visual stories, thereby promoting an interactive connection with their local environment.
