Construcción de paz y migración en instituciones de educación superior del Área Metropolitana de Bucaramanga (Santander, Colombia)

Abstract

Within the framework of the research project “Narratives and historical memory of immigrants from Venezuela in transit through the Metropolitan Area of ​​Bucaramanga” a process of social appropriation of knowledge (PACS) is developed that aims to provide the students of the University Santo Tomás Sectional Bucaramanga, in the “Peace Construction” activity, the theoretical and experiential tools that allow them to reflect on their own attitudes and practices of discrimination regarding migration from Venezuela in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Bucaramanga (Santander, Colombia). The PASC methodology is structured in four phases: compilation of life stories of Venezuelan migrants; production of a documentary as a pedagogical tool; design of the activities to be carried out with the students; and finally, the broadcast of a program on a university radio station with the participation of migrants from Venezuela as a dissemination strategy. The results show a greater understanding, on the part of the students, of the dynamics of social exclusion, which allows them to generate concrete proposals to combat discrimination.
