Serie documental "Fungamana" sobre el impacto educativo de la Ley 70 de 1993 para las comunidades afrocolombianas desde la Fundación Cultural Zarakua.

Abstract

Afro-Colombian communities have been fundamental in the construction of our nation, contributing in various social, cultural, and economic spheres. Despite their contributions, they continue to be one of the most forgotten and marginalized ethnic groups, facing deep historical barriers rooted in structural racism. In exploring these inequalities, the question arises: How has access to education been for Afro-Colombian communities? This question aims to approach the educational impact of Law 70 of 1993, which establishes mechanisms for the protection of cultural identity and the rights of black communities in Colombia. The research will draw from the school narratives of Afro-descendant youth from the Zarakua Cultural Foundation, who have settled in the Brasil neighborhood of Bosa, a territory where they build and strengthen their cultural resistance against racism in Bogotá. The central focus of this research lies in the importance of an ethno-educational policy that addresses the real needs of ethnic communities, as well as examining the challenges in implementing the Afro-Colombian Studies Program (CEA) in educational institutions. Additionally, it emphasizes the mission-driven commitment that calls upon the Francisco José de Caldas District University to take pedagogical and preventive actions against racial discrimination, all within the framework of community communication's role in peacebuilding.
