We aim to consolidate the Unipluriversidad Group as a research community in Colombia and Latin America, positioning social pedagogy and popular education as a current discursive field for teachers and social educators. This is going to be done through the design, structuring and implementation of research, community outreach, teaching and dissemination projects of high social impact and academic excellence, research workshops, master's and doctoral programs, pedagogical internships, and educational seminars.
