These are academic spaces that guide the execution of activities frameworked within social work, with the purpose of establishing direct academia-environment (community) contact, as a tool to generate meeting and dialogue points that sensitize the bodies participating in the process of articulating efforts for mutual benefits.
The three faculties from their disciplinary work approach the community by offering cources to train players (children, adolescents, and adults), which are deserved according to parameters established by the social projection committee, acquiring tools for the development of their life project.
This is how the faculties have the function of articulating the teaching, research, and social projection processes to achieve a comprehensive formation of professionals under formation; within its action plans interaction with the environment is contemplated through academic offer from the disciplinary knowledge that characterizes them.
Hence, the Faculty of Engineering offers the course on basic or advanced information technology according to the requirements from the players as a labor tool. The aim of the course is to train community members in the use of technological and communication tools, so that upon completion sufficient and necessary skills and knowledge are acquired for proper performance in the activities carried out by each individual.
The Faculty of Art and Design offers the course on the ceramic trade or another art specialization as a medium of expression and labor training. The aim of the course is to train the community through courses, workshops, and seminars seeking to improve the quality of work and life of the people, as well as strengthening art as culture in the region.
The Faculty of Social and Administration Sciences offers twocourses; one on English for children or adults, according to their requirements, as admission mechanism into the the technological and communication field. The second course on general Administration or Finance for the household aimed at basic training for administration of income and small businesses. The aim of the courses is to promote institutional projection toward production sectors in the city and the region to respond to it enterprise needs.
The second program seeks to lead the dynamic of Social Projection toward the institutional community, that is, internal work with the purpose of setting up social work from the micro-curricular activities articulated with themes on citizen culture as convenience and development axis. If we retake the institutional mission of training competent individuals that contribute to social development and the concept of citizen culture as the symbolic fabric of standards and values shared by the inhabitants of a given region, a symbiosis is established between both concepts, inherent of human beings to develop a life in common with high indexes of quality and peaceful coexistence.
Said symbiosis must wager on academic work enhanced in social commitment, medication to cure difficulties of Colombian settings, which - as stated by William Ospina - expect a change because “COLOMBIA is a very patient people that will wait 65, 70, 100 years for peace. One hundred years of solitude. People who work, trust God, dream of a dignified and happy future. Now we understand that a people cannot sit and wait for peace to arrive, that it is necessary to sow peace for peace to flourish, that peace is much more than a word”. It is more than a word; it is action. It is articulating the academic field with those behaviors directed from the institutional normativity and the hidden collective behaviors that arise from daily practices until becoming social guidelines, which when negative affect development and social welfare.
Hence, the activities planned during the second program on citizen culture seek to promote in the IUNIMAYOR community sensitivity on social problems that lead to the analysis of the immediate environment to break negative paradigms with academic proposals supported on critical attitude and human condition as determining factors to improve a people's quality of life.
Another work mechanism in the citizen culture program is participation and/or planning of internal or external social campaigns that require collaboration from the institutional community.
The purpose of encouraging participation in campaigns of social nature is to contribute in the formation part in institutional values of team work, equity, service, transparency, and commitment, as well as in principles of collective interest, impartiality, inclusion, and management of public interests.
The relationship with the external sector keeps in mind established policies that allow each faculty to propose projects to be developed over time, space, and budget according to the application of technological, cultural, and artistic knowledge.
The work for the third program is organized from projects proposed from the disciplinary component of institutional programs complying with the requirements of being interdisciplinary and with social objectives. The scenarios and themes selected for the work are approved by the Social Projection committee.
Projects become the working tool for the social projection process, given that they are the scientific procedure to obtain knowledge and gather real information on a social phenomenon, which follows an established route traced by the problem, justification, objectives, frameworks, methodology, conclusions, and bibliography. This tool fulfills the purpose of training future professionals in social research because it wagers on the analysis of the environment to present solution proposals. Additionally, it becomes the bridge to unify inter-faculty disciplinary knowledge that lead to collective production.
The purpose of the University Institution Colegio Mayor del Cauca of projecting programs that involve academic activity with the community, generating social impact upon analizing problems from the environment to propose solutions and establish links or social-academic networks with institutions, organizations and different trade groups.
