Synopsis

This book collects most of the reflections, methodological approaches, and the intention of interweaving academia with social realities. The research group Cuchavira, Power, Socialization, and Knowledge was born in 2011 in response to some questions around three structural elements. Thus, the first element focused on the understanding of the social function of education; the second one analyzed the political implications of the social-community educational proposal of the UNAD (Spanish acronym for Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia); and the third element addressed the responsibility of the relationship between the academia and community, intending to contribute to the understanding of an armed social conflict in Colombia.

From these considerations, the Cuchavira group has organized different workspaces, ranging from the creation of research groups in Bogotá, Villavicencio, Medellín, Popayán, and Valledupar, through the participation and execution of research projects with research members and research professors, up to the integration in spaces for the construction of public policies as a result of the research exercises.

Keywords: Inclusive education, public policies, lectureship on peace, solidarity, coexistence, social transformation, sustainable human development
