Aproximación histórica del Embalse de La Regadera: memoria y apropiación del espacio mediante la educación comunitaria

Abstract

This work seeks to demonstrate how the proposal: "remember to socialize" postulated from the principles of community education and implementation with the population surrounding the La Regadera dam, made it possible for local people to recognize the decline of the dam and its subsequent institutional growth through the strengthening of the processes of memory and space appropriation. To achieve this goal, the research is divided into three parts: first, the theoretical foundation of the main categories analysis work: community education, space appropriation and memory, second, a historical approximation of the La Regadera dam from its construction to its current and third stage, the design and application of the pedagogical proposal that was postulated from the theoretical and methodological principles of community education. These aspects were achieved through literature review of primary and secondary sources, surveys, participant observation, field diaries, semi-structured interviews and routes. The analysis of the results implementation of the proposal made it possible to identify that community education effectively constitutes a strategy that enables the inhabitants of a place, in this case of Santa Bárbara and El Destino, to strengthen their links with it through memory processes and space appropriation in order to provide tools that prevent the La Regadera dam from continuing in its current state, as well as raising awareness among the community about the importance of living in these types of places
