Abstract

The objective of the research was to understand the configuration of the relationships between educators, children and adolescents (who from now on will be called as children) in a context of protection, based on the identity story of educators, being involved in the process a couple of husbands belonging to the Asociación Nuevo Futuro de Colombia. For the selection of participants, criteria such as: being an educator with protection contexts and having a minimum experience of four years were taken into account. It was based on a qualitative design and a biographical method, where the life history in the collection of information and the analysis of categorical content for interpretation were used as strategies; followed by the techniques that were used for this population was the semi-structured interview, participant observation and conversational scenario. In addition, it was divided into three categories: Identity story, the educator's relationship with the children and the educator's actions, in order to analyze the information from the categorical content analysis. Among the main findings was the definition of their identity as parents, and also the relationships are similar to that of a common family dynamic. As a general conclusion, we understand the importance of the work of educators in a context of protection, since it was possible to demonstrate that they are a source of support, from which they have favored an adequate formation of children and adolescents who are in situations of vulnerability and in a form of protection. Finally, educators are significant people on the part of this population, where they have managed to project their lives in each of them.
