Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a deeper and more holistic view of the municipality of Soacha, a territory that, at first glance, stands as a symbol of resistance, but also of resilience. Soacha should be recognized for its perseverance, its determination, and its indomitable spirit. This work proposes the creation of emotional cartographies, in which the students of Soacha trace their experiences through thousands of situations marked by violence, displacement, inequality, femicide, dysfunctional families, insecurity, and economic and social hardship — and, why not, the challenges within the educational system itself, as it struggles to respond to an ever-growing demand.

It is there, in that struggle, where education becomes an illusion on a map — a space where emotions reveal their vulnerabilities. Through this article, we aim to generate motivational experiences supported by theoretical frameworks, allowing students to express their life stories and to become bridges of transformation. By reflecting on their lived experiences, they can reinterpret adverse contexts and rediscover in education the hope of shaping a different way of life.
