| Summary: | This article aims to reveal the educational strategies implemented by Proyecto Escuela Comunidad (School-Community Project, PEC) in the 1990s, which allowed its students —now graduates— to face the adverse conditions of a context of socioeconomic vulnerability and transcend by consolidating socially relevant personal trajectories, becoming social leaders, professionals, artists, and high-performance athletes, among others, who were committed as citizens with their social reality. The research work supporting this article was based on the sociocritical methodology applied to the realm of education, from which a dialectic view of reality was adopted while recognizing that knowledge is built with subjects within the given context, who ascribe meaning to their experience. This is why qualitative tools, enriched with quantitative data for a deeper analysis, were employed. The aforementioned educational strategies were guided by popular education, by principles such as the political nature of education, the fight against injustice, and proposals for transforming reality. Moreover, they were linked to the socio-spatial context in which the educational experience took place. The results show the relationships between the PEC, the educational strategies, the life trajectories marked by the lessons learned from the education process, and what defines the participants as subjects linked to artistic, community, sports, cultural, and political education. |
