Abstract

The article presents the experience of action-research and educommunication in the village of El Llanito, attached to the municipality of Barrancabermeja, in northeastern Colombia, where the use of photography among local youth and adolescents activates collective memory and stimulates affirmative dialogue about the identity itself, with which it seeks to restore solidarity and, thus, consolidate the capacity of resistance of the new generations against of a historical and irregular violence, persistent and at the service of the establishment of a new productive order adverse to the traditional forms of economy in the territory.
