Pedagogical proposal for the appropriation of the cultural-natural heritage

in the municipality of Puerto Berrio Antioquia, Magdalena Medio colombiano

Abstract

The article arises from the implementation of a pilot pedagogical methodology that combined territorial analysis with activities aimed at territorial empowerment in Puerto Berrío. The aim was to decentralize a heritage discourse that is usually distant and incongruent with local diversity. Significant conclusions are highlighted, including the imposition of Western values on the concept of heritage and the disconnection of the academy with the material conditions and people who generate said heritage. The main objective was to explore alternatives to mitigate the gap between the academy and society, especially with local groups. The research promoted horizontal dialogue, encouraged reflection on the territory and recognized its historical dimension. It integrated territorial research, theoretical foundation and analysis of social construction and representation, seeking to reconstruct the territorial landscape together with the school groups, impregnated with meanings that cross past, present and future.KEY WORDS: Heritage, Education, Puerto Berrio, Antioquia, Colombia.
