BETANCURTH-LOAIZA, Diana Paola et al. Storytelling, Rebuilding Lives: a Popular Education Experience with Vulnerable Women Parenting. Folios [online]. 2022, n.56, pp.81-92.  Epub Nov 10, 2022. ISSN 0123-4870.  https://doi.org/10.17227/folios.56-13333.

Within the framework of a popular health education experience related to parenting, it emerged how by telling their own story and listening to that of others, the participants-women who live in a context of inequality and social inequity-expanded their conception of the world and were empowered for creative action, a fundamental purpose of the Action Research. In the Thematic Research Circles, we addressed existential issues, an opportunity to express and reflect on their lives. The problematization of the stories encouraged us to progress towards a critical vision that gave way to action. Through the dialogue, a greater understanding of the subjects and the context of upbringing was achieved, of the education that takes place "with others" and that makes it possible to build awareness, liberating life projects, and supportive community ties.

Keywords : alternative education; community education; social justice; participatory research; qualitative analysis.
