Abstract

The present research was interested in describing the perception of the life project of the adults living on the street and addiction belonging to the Corporación la Casa del Alfarero in Villavicencio. In this sense, it was based on an interpretive paradigm, which allows understanding and interpreting the social reality that these people live from their individual experiences; Hermeneutics and phenomenology were taken as epistemology, in order to discover their perception of their current and future life project, taking into account their historicity. In this way, the sample consisted of 7 male adults, between 35 and 65 years old, chosen through a non-probability convenience sampling. A semi-structured interview was conducted, consisting of 13 questions aimed at investigating the dimensions that are part of the life project -sentimental / affective, socio-political, cultural / recreational and professional-. The results were analyzed taking into account two categories: current life project, in which it was evidenced that the participants are focused on successfully completing their rehabilitation process; It highlights the support and solidarity that exists among the companions of the corporation, the importance of spiritual practices as motivation not to lose heart and the perception of the life project as the way to think about their future and to be able to transform themselves into better people. And future life project, in which participants mention wanting to get off drugs, be an example for society, return to their families, continue their studies and get a stable job or start their own business. Finally, the impact generated was the realization of a reflective learning space, in which the subject of a life project was addressed by a Psychologist; and as a final product, an informative poster was delivered to all the people who are part of the corporation.
