QUIMBONDU: Unidad de un pueblo, pedagogía para el reconocimiento y el fortalecimiento de la identidad afrocolombiana en la infancia.

Abstract

This work presents the Quimbondu pedagogy: unity of a people under the action research methodology in education, a proposal that was intended to base the design and implementation of the CEA Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies, at the Official Educational Institution, José María Carbonell, from the city of Bogotá as of the year 2018. It contains an analysis and a compilation of experiences, aimed at traveling the path of self-recognition and cultural consolidation of mestizo and Afro-Colombian children, and it was proposed to reconfigure the school as a space where they are implemented strategies that make visible, the current state of discussions around racism and various discriminations and segregations. Fulfilling the purpose of deracializing language, we changed the handling of the concepts of a victimization status of the Afro community for an empowerment of childhood, in the shadow of authors such as Aimé Césaire, Stuart Hall, Frantz Fanon, Léopold Sédar Senghor, as theoretical references on identity, and Stuart Hall, Jaime Arocha, Nelson Maldonado Torres, Adolfo Albán Achinte, Juan García Salazar, Jhon Elliot, Adela Cortina regarding methodological references. It was intended to contribute in how to close the existing gap, which allows Colombian Afro-descendants to enjoy equal rights; so that in the short term the quality of interpersonal relationships and coexistence at school is improved and so that, in the long term, subjects can consider an inclusive action alternative to an act of discrimination and segregation.
