Abstract

The ethnic and indigenous communities of Pueblo Rico, Colombia, are considered a priority population in the implementation of rural education projects to promote the productive and agricultural capabilities of the municipality. This article describes the socioeconomic and environmental impacts derived from an inter-institutional agreement that sought to strengthen the economy and rural development in the municipality, taking into account four axes of intervention: citizen participation, gender equality, peasant economy and cultural identity. 341 social actors participated, including students, teachers, parents, and indigenous and community leaders. The project showed a significant impact in strengthening the productive capacities of vegetable and animal crops, through the creation of productive units that integrate members of the community, promote the participation of women in agricultural production activities, strengthen the identity cultural and facilitate interethnic coexistence.
