The team of the project “Community strategies for Unarmed Civilian Protection in South-West Colombia: local experiences and lessons learned“ has published a Volume 2 of its Participaroty Action Research Semillero (Seedbed) titled,
- “Buenaventura: Thinking-feeling methodologies of resistance and re-existence” (English version)
- “Buenaventura: Metodologías sentipensantes de resistencia y re-existencia” (Spanish version)
The brochure discusses four PAR methodologies that build on the cultural richness of the Colombian Pacific region and are an expression of the collective cultural, spiritual and artistic values of the Afro-Pacific region, where the production of knowledge bears the emotional and intellectual imprint of knowledge produced through dialogue.
It is accompanied by four videos about the community-based methodologies discussed – the comadreo (informal chat), the tertulia poética (poetic gathering), the sociodrama (sociodrama), and the teatro por la vida (theatre for life) – in which community members talk about their experiences and learnings.
