Transformando realidades: un análisis periodístico a la Fundación Escuela de Pensamiento

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of communicative processes promoted by the Fundación Escuela de Pensamiento on the shaping of meaning and the social transformation of vulnerable children and youth in the locality of Bosa, Bogotá. Grounded in a qualitative approach and supported by the production of a journalistic documentary as a research product, this study examines the relationships between ideology, education, communication, and values-based training within the processes developed by the Fundación. Based on interviews, field observation, documentary analysis, and the validation of the audiovisual product through a satisfaction survey, communicative practices associated with reflexive dialogue, active listening, testimonial narratives, and educommunicative dynamics were identified, all of which foster the collective construction of meaning. The findings demonstrate processes that strengthen empathy, emotional self-regulation, transformation in coexistence practices, the resignification of life projects, a sense of community belonging, resilience, and the appropriation of dialogic languages. It is concluded that the communicative and educational processes implemented by the Fundación constitute a relevant factor in generating social transformations and constructing new life perspectives for the participants; meanwhile, the documentary establishes itself as a pertinent tool to visibility and analyze these realities within the field of social communication and journalism.
