The Action-Participation Research-APR

This paper is concerned with showing the incorporation of the Action-Participation Research methodology as a device for the educational quality promoted by UNAD in the processes of community co-construction in the Rural Reserve Zone of Pradera, Valle del Cauca, Colombia as a contribution to social change. The field work made it possible to record the way in which the communities reconstitute the social fabric based on the agroecological practices exercised in their territory to heal the wounds left by the war. The communities of the Rural Reserve Zone become protagonists of their own ways of investigating, examining, resisting and defending life from their territories. The work of community co-construction is built as a contribution to territorial peace building and educational quality.
