Proceso de intervención enfocado al sentido de pertenencia comunitaria en Nueva Vida ubicado en Vía a la Costa km 19

Abstract

This work of systematization of experiences addresses a community intervention project aimed at the Nueva Vida 1 community, located in Vía a la Costa km. 19. The project based its intervention on the Social Community Model, which considers the context and the participation of the inhabitants as determining aspects for change. It focused on fostering the community's sense of belonging, which was recognized as a key factor for its development and well-being. This work underlines the importance of encouraging individuals to build a participatory, resilient and cohesive environment, where everyone can be agents of change contributing to a common well-being. At the practical level, it was found that the proposed schedule contributed to increased social cohesion, strengthened commitment, responsibility and greater collaboration on local projects or initiatives, which can be considered as small steps towards building a strong sense of belonging. Through the implementation of dynamic and psycho-educational workshops, issues such as divisive and weak leadership, individualism among blocks and low participation and involvement of community members were addressed; key factors that were previously identified within the diagnostic process. Likewise, spaces for opinion and reflection were created for the participants where the purpose was to know the individual perspective on relevant issues that have an impact on coexistence and daily interaction. Finally, it is important to mention that it was possible to collect necessary information about the whole process involved in intervening in the community, where the challenges or barriers and the successes that occurred during the experience are shared, making a theoretical reflection of what the literature contributed to the intervention.
