PEREZ MUNOZ, Colombia; GOMEZ, María Edilma; HERNANDEZ ARTEAGA, Isabel y GARCIA PORRAS, Sonia. Higher education and solidarity economy towards a territorial approach. sophia [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.1, pp.16-30. ISSN 1794-8932. https://doi.org/10.18634/sophiaj.15v.1i.902.
The evident crisis in the social, economic and environmental dimensions has called for the definition of strategies from universities, governments and civil society organizations, including those of the social and solidarity economy, in order to create conditions conducive to improve the quality of life and sustainable development. This article presents the progress (achieved) in the development of an education proposal in and for solidarity economy in Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, which has a competency-based approach aimed at activating citizenship, knowing and making visible the solidarity economy, and promoting entrepreneurship and social innovation with impacts on the internal and external community. The accompaniment and monitoring of this process, guided by the action research methodology, reveals good practices, opportunities for improvement and great challenges, especially in regard to the territories where the university has its field of action. Further progress in strengthening this strategy is particularly relevant due to the recent signing of the peace agreement between the FARC-EP guerrilla and the national government of Colombia, which invites greater citizen and institutional commitment to the construction of solidarity territories for peace.
