THE CURRICULUM AS A WELCOME SPACE

Abstract

In this article we present the results of a qualitative study that explored the modes of existence of a group of students in a school context in the city of Medellín. The methods used were semi-structured interviews, written narratives and visual narratives. The thematic analysis allows us to give meaning to the curriculum as a welcoming space where flexibility, hospitality and familiarity stand out as fundamental characteristics in daily school interactions. The article highlights the strength of the flexible educational proposals for the students who were forcibly displaced, proposing elements that signify a space that welcomes them with their personal stories and facilitates their (re)encounter with the school.
