"Narrando el tejido intercultural del territorio Muisca de Bosa"

Abstract

This research process “Telling the intercultural weaving of the Mhuysqa territorry of Bosa” is a tissue of questions, reflections and learning meanings about the origin, the mother earth and the territorry. This process was done with the students I was with in primary school from first to fifth grade in the years between 2014 and 2018. Together we wordered about how to strenghten the cultural and identity memories in the school context, starting from the narratives of the families shared by the community of the group 501 and the intercultural weaving of the Mhuysqa territorry of Bosa. This process was developed taking into account decolonial perspective, intercultural education, memories narratives, strenghtening of the identity and the acknowledgement of the territorry in common – unity. It was done through qualitative research, reflective actions in the classroom, observation, life stories, word ceremonies, Muiskanoba pedagogy, family knowledge and the organization of pedagogic proposals. In this path we found a school where ancestral territorial authentic and diverse qualities converge; where the community weaved its own history and memory, forging identity and a meaningful potential of transformation, looking forward to its necessities, interests, abilities, cultural values and integral formation. This is a school that acknowledges in the other the opportunities to, in community, forge better expectatives in its quality of life. Although this process was not always easy, because it was different and alternative to that accustomed in the colony, we found the possibility to weave common – unity from the differences. Through this the school recovered its importance as a place where people could listen, think, learn, teach, weave words, be in family and common – unity with the territory in terms of identity, harmony with mother earth and cultural empowering. It is a living school that acknwoledges its community, its territory, and this allows it to understand itself form its own common and individual learnings.
