Life experiences and configuration of other modes of existence from the pedagogies of care and Good Living

Abstract

The current text presents a reflection derived from the research “Good Living in an urban contemporary context” developed with teachers in training from various degrees at the University Francisco José de Caldas (Bogota, Colombia), collected during the elective course “Pedagogy of Care and Good Living”. The starting point of the analysis refers to the systemic crisis that humanity is currently experiencing as a paradigmatic crisis and proposes the approach of a new paradigm through transition towards principles of Good Living and Care based on Andean Indigenous peoples and Afro peoples principles. These principles are configured as key links in the proposal for the construction of another world, the principles of community, eco-spirituality, biocentrism, and citizenship they provide the reference to living in an urban context from an empathetic and eco-solidarity approach.
