Exploración de imaginarios colectivos mediante cartografías corporales con la infancia de Santa María del Darién desde la pedagogía sensible

Abstract

This internship took place at the Santa María la Nueva del Darién Educational Institution (Unguía, Chocó) under the PTAFI 3.0 program of the Ministry of National Education. Its main objective was to explore the collective imaginaries of children through bodily experience, using cartographic methodologies from a sensitive pedagogy and experiential learning approach. Through body exploration exercises, contemplative walks, sensory installations throughout the territory, and the collective creation of maps, the project sought to recognize the body as the primary territory and to make visible the narratives of childhood in a context marked by armed conflict, state abandonment, and violence. The results show that the children identify their environment through the senses (colors, sounds, tastes), express emotions related to family absence and fear, and construct collective representations that highlight nature, animals, and everyday elements of their community. The project successfully integrated teachers, families, and students, creating safe spaces for the expression and recognition of cultural identities
