University Social Responsibility with an Intercultural Approach: Afro-Colombian Community Perspective of San Basilio de Palenque Responsabilidad Social Universitaria con Enfoque Intercultural: Perspectiva Comunidad Afrocolombiana de San Basilio de Palenque

Abstract

The Social Responsibility of Universities is revitalized in that dynamic and transformative relationship of universities with the realities of university contexts. We sought to design an RSU program with an intercultural approach. The study is qualitative and the epistemological position is critical. The methodology adopted is Action Research, with the participation of 61 families from San Basilio de Palenque. The instrument used was the multidimensional guide, which allowed delving into the problems of the communities where he carried out his Practice in Social Responsibility and the subsequent multidimensional relationship at the local, national and Latin American levels to understand social realities from broader perspectives. Prompt actions of tacit and effective commitment are required on the part of the universities present in the region, the public and private institutions, so that from an ethical, intercultural, integrative and inclusive approach in development, they serve and accompany the Palenque community through programs, projects and the development of policies that truly transform current living conditions.
