Construcción colectiva del desarrollo de Socotá mediante la creación de proyectos grupales en la i.e.t Francisco José De Caldas

Abstract

A key aspect of this internship is its focus on the municipality where it takes place: Socotá, in the department of Boyacá. This municipality comprises an urban center and various rural areas bordering the Pisba moorland. Specifically, the internship is conducted in the rural area at the Comaita school, part of the Francisco José de Caldas Technical Educational Institution. The area is notable for Socotá's location; instead of being built in a valley, its urban center is situated on a mountainside, and consequently, its agricultural production is concentrated among the mountains. The bioclimatic zone in which it is located sits at an altitude of 2,413 meters above sea level, which fosters a temperate climate suitable for cultivating various fruits and vegetables. However, one of the municipality's main economic drivers is the mining and energy sector, centered on coal extraction. Therefore, it is common to see a high volume of heavy traffic in the area, as well as signs warning of geological faults and instability. This also makes it commonplace to see heavy machinery working on sections of the road. Continuing with the theme of high mining traffic in the area, the families and individuals who live there could be classified as a transient population, since many of them depend on this source of income for their livelihood. This also means that students in rural schools have to constantly change schools and residences
