It was created in 2000 as an open entity with the purpose of training leaders with principles and values, benefiting children and young people from high social risk sectors in the Department of Valle del Cauca.

CEI Ciudad de Cuenca considers the dissemination of cultural manifestations as an innovative project, as a continuous practice in our daily life due to the rainbow of customs and traditions that its people have, which can be combined in the activities proposed to develop the skills of the Early Childhood Curriculum 2014; considering our children as protagonists together with their families and teachers as the main guides of the vivifying action in the classroom.

En el presente documento se realiza un análisis de la función de la educación frente a la discusión de la distinción entre los conceptos: la política y lo político.

Se plantea además, la necesidad de asumir el acto de educar como una labor que puede ser transformadora o normalizadora, con el fin de ampliar la discusión sobre la inmensa responsabilidad de labor docente y su capacidad empoderadora.

En palabras del poeta Rimbaud, al contrario de lo que muchos puedan creer la poesía no sirve para embellecer la vida. La poesía desarrolla un especial apego a la sensibilidad, a la capacidad de observación, de admiración sobre lo que nos rodea; así también, la poesía desarrolla una capacidad sensitiva sobre la sociedad en general. Las temáticas que son desarrolladas desde la poesía abren un gran abanico, si bien el tema amoroso es un referente para los escritores, la poesía se refiere al entorno en general. La poesía basa su objetivo en el uso diferente de la palabra para expresar algo (poema); el poeta se enfrenta al trabajo de encontrar los vocablos precisos para enviar un mensaje que debe ser decodificado por el receptor del poema; sin embargo, el poeta no tiene un lector ideal, su trabajo se basa en la creación de un mensaje, incluso trabaja para volverlo hermético, encriptado, pues su afán es construir un mensaje desde su óptica, del cual el receptor se empodera y lo deconstruye según las ideas de Derridá, en el texto La Deconstrucción de Jaques Derridá, publicado en la UNAM, (Krieger, 2004) hasta encontrar varias significaciones; estas significaciones dependerán en gran medida de la capacidad del lector para encontrar sentidos al mensaje y, también, en la capacidad de entender el aspecto formal del poema.
