The persistence of a high number of young people and adults in a situation of illiteracy or illiteracy in our region is particularly focused on inhabitants of vulnerable sectors. To contribute to reversing or reducing the effects of this problem, from the Extension and Territory Area and the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CEI) of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario They propose to address literacy with practices in the territory from the value of cultural spaces and knowledge.
Literacy students are young people and adults who did not access formal education, or who, due to dropout or repetition problems, have dropped out of school. The objective of this training space is that, through the reconstruction and expansion of their own knowledge and practices about reading and writing, can access through these activities the social and symbolic goods that characterize the increasingly literate cultures of our time.
To carry it out, a complex work strategy was designed focused on the training of literacy teachers based on the Undergraduate Diploma in Literacy Practices in Non-Formal Literacy Programs (Resolution CS No. 591/02021), whose central objective is to promote in the participants of the course the construction of pedagogical and didactic knowledge about non-formal literacy processes in young people and adults excluded or at risk of exclusion from the formal education system.
On the other hand, the practices in the territory have been developed, up to now, in various spaces with which the Area of Extension and Territory articulates; and with organizations that raised the need to develop literacy practices with young people and adults.
One of the spaces is the Madre Teresa Lourdes Group , where people experiencing homelessness regularly participate in training and support activities. At this institution, the "writing and reading workshop" was strongly embraced, with over 20 adults participating weekly. For some, it was their first literacy experience; for others, after years, it represented a return to written culture, as they were able to read and write again with a meaningful purpose. This experience thus became a central space for self-discovery and the building of citizenship. Another space is the Casa de Todos association in the San Francisquito neighborhood. Both experiences are highly significant, both in the socio-educational inclusion of adults from low-income communities and in broadening the educational horizons of those enrolled in the diploma program.
