Axiology, human rights, justice, and peace as guiding keys for educational projects

Abstract

 This scientific article addresses the problem of poverty, inequality and lack of opportunities faced by vulnerable communities, especially children and young people, in the environment of the Adventist University Institute of Venezuela (IUNAV). Through a diagnosis based on in-depth interviews, a context of violation of human rights, absence of a culture of peace and obstacles to access to education is highlighted. As a solution, it is proposed to implement community extension initiatives that involve students in projects to serve and support these populations, as well as entrepreneurship and technical-professional training programs. This proposal is based on the theories of educational inclusion, project-based learning and axiological theory, seeking to raise awareness of human rights, social justice and peace, while providing opportunities for economic development to vulnerable young people.
