Estrategias para fortalecer la historia y la cultura local en la comunidad del sector la alianza del barrio cristo rey parte baja del Municipio de Pamplona, Norte de Santander.

Abstract

This thesis focuses on strengthening local history and culture within the community of the ‘La Alianza’ sector, in the 'Cristo Rey lower part' neighborhood of Pamplona, Norte de Santander. Addressing the limited knowledge of young people regarding their local cultural and historical heritage, this work proposes a series of strategies to revitalize and reinforce local identity through the exploration of the history and culture of its oldest inhabitants. The research employs a qualitative approach, thereby seeking to unravel the complexity of social reality through the comprehension of human experiences in their natural context. Various activities were designed, including film forums, dialogue circles, recreational activities, and the creation of a timeline and an educational booklet to enhance the knowledge and appreciation of local history and culture. The implementation of these strategies aimed to increase the sense of belonging and community engagement, integrating residents in a process of rediscovering their roots and traditions. The results obtained demonstrate that these actions succeeded in improving the perception of cultural identity among community participants, strengthening social bonds and recognition of the sector's historical heritage. This project not only contributes to the enrichment of collective memory but also offers a replicable model for other communities facing similar challenges, such as limited knowledge of their history and culture, which consequently leads to a weakened identity.
