Experiencias educativas en tiempos de postpandemia: construyendo mi proyecto de vida a través de la literatura infantil como acercamiento a otras realidades y el fortalecimiento de las relaciones sociales en la comunidad afrocolombiana de Tocaimita Usme

Abstract

This research work reports the development of a pedagogical project that is carried out in Tocaimita Usme with the Chisua Foundation and the Afro-Colombian community that inhabits this sector. The project focuses on the construction of the life project of 37 children and adolescents, with ages ranging from 2 to 15 years; an educational experience that is located in post-pandemic times and that seeks to contribute to the formation of the Tocaimita community, through activities that invite them to learn to know, learn to do, learn to live together and learn to be. Through the analysis of this experience during the meetings with activities such as the circle of the word, the exploration of the environment, the various games implemented, the artistic productions and the reading aloud of children's stories, it is possible to rescue the look they have with regarding the territory they inhabit, their way of appropriating it and the impact generated with the different activities in relation to the construction of their life project, thus enabling a process where the recognition of oneself, the other and their environment is distinguished. . During the development of this project, the mobilizing axes were the streng thening of social relations: with oneself, with the other and the environment; reading children's literature aloud as a means of approaching other realities, other ways of being and being in the world; and finally, artistic production as a means of expression and concretion of the ideas presented in each meeting regarding the different aspects worked on regarding the construction of the life project of children and adolescents.
