Braiding networks of freedom
Braiding networks of freedom constitutes a valuable tool for teachers and students in the exercise of constructing citizenship and promoting coexistence in their schools and their surroundings. This document contributes to strengthening citizens’ capacities, as promoted by the ECC- “Educación para la Ciudadanía y la Convivencia”: Identity, Dignity and Rights; Responsibilities and respect for people’s rights; Sensitivity and Emotion Management; Meaning of Life, Body and Nature; Participation and Coexistence”. One mission of the Colombian education system is to promote a general and objective understanding of the world while maintaining the subjective perspectives, customs, beliefs and ways of life of each ethnic group; that is why, as part of its social and integration program, the Ministry of National Education has regulated the “Cátedra de Estudios Afrocolombianos” (CEA) which promotes the construction of interculturality within and from educational institutions, and focuses on recognizing the contributions African-Colombian, Black, Palenquera
and Raizal populations have made to politics, economics, sciences, academia, arts and so on
