Abstract

The loss of environmental values is a situation that is evident in many indigenous communities nowadays, such is the case of the community of Raudal de Mapiripana, Guainía, in the upper Colombian Amazon region, an area that for years has had a strong governmental abandonment that generated the arrival of illegal groups and migration of people from the interior of the country, generating a change in the social dynamics of the multiple ethnic groups that live there, mainly derived from contact with the western world and the boom of cocaine crops in the ´80s, and other similiter things. The educational institution of the area and boarding school Divino Niño Salvador began in 2009 with a process of growth and expansion of educational coverage, implemented transversal pedagogical projects, including the School Environmental Project, (PRAE) which included in its design local issues and regional multiculturalism, now, several years after the first academic promotions, the question arises: How has the school environmental project influenced the practice of environmental values of the community? A qualitative research project was then designed, action-participative, and analytical inductive scheme, quasi-experimental, to make a comparison between the different groups, collecting information through interviews, focus groups and an axiological test to analyze the development and use of environmental values in the resolution of local situations, especially in environmental problems, with a purpose applied to the improvement of institutional activities, and their impact on the regional quality of life, achieving a cultural and environmental syncretism between the West and indigenous cultures.
