(Trans)formaciones contemporáneas. Desafíos y retos de la educación popular en los nuevos contextos digitales desde la voz de algunas/os educadores en la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

The increasingly accelerated techno-social development is leading us to more complex and urgent issues and questions to answer due to the fact that at least in the educational field, the question of its transformations in the new century cannot be asked or answered without taking the new technologies into account. Therefore this research deals with this relationship between new technologies and Popular Education. Through the perception of nine popular educators from Bogotá city and the documentary analysis, it seeks to contribute to the understanding, reflection and debate on this relationship that needs to be not only told and explained, but also narrated and understood. Consequently, this exercise is based on a qualitative approach that emphasizes the richness of the experiences and particular narratives of the participants in order to open more inclusive and holistic lines of exploration and comprehension that let them realize this relationship. Then, this work is an exploration more than a conclusion that hopes to contribute to the origination of a space or scenario for meeting, reflection and dialogue that allows the collective construction and reconstruction of contemporaneity and the role of the Popular Education in it from the different voices and interpretations, that at the same time illuminate and enrich the existing paths and possible routes for critical pedagogies in Colombia and Latin America.
