Narrativas sobre convivencia escolar

Abstract

The complexity of school coexistence is emphasized in the remote areas and marginal urban areas, characterized by bringing together heterogeneous populations in irregular settlements. In these places the siege of crime is permanent and the sale of hallucinogens becomes an everyday activity, this activity threatens the students. Children from conflict families and which having grown up in the midst of a breathtaking solitude, are increasingly vulnerable to the violence that sometimes suffer and sometimes they cause as the only means to achieve a bit of recognition. In this uncertain landscape the school emerges as an oasis of protection, for those who seek refuge against adversity and dare to try to build a different future of that their environment offers them, with the help of teachers who are equally vulnerable to the dynamics of violence surrounding the school. Illustrated by stories, the reality becomes affordable for distant observers and a little more understandable to for those who are immersed in the complexity of everyday life, and sometimes do not fail to identify the dangers that haunt the future of children and youth people in formation. The stories are in addition, an ideal medium to explore the reality from the perspective of its protagonists and a mechanism that makes possible to exit from the resignation of impotence, to the commitment to struggle to transform the adversity of the environment.
