Abstract

This essay seeks to reflect on Urban Pedagogy as a tool for education, exemplifying its practical application through an initiative developed by the Cedeus Ciudadanía Activa Program, together with teachers from the Liceo Polivalente Presidente José Manuel Balmaceda (Independencia, Metropolitan Region, Chile). First, we introduced and described the framework of Urban Pedagogy, which highlights the value of the city as a place, medium and object of education. Then, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education system at a global and local level are reviewed, highlighting the problems related to online education as a strategy to continue educational trajectories in a pandemic context. Next, we discussed about the opportunity of this historical moment to rethink the place, the methodologies and the contents of education, describing the learning experience developed and the results of its application. Finally, we reflect on Urban Pedagogy as a strategy of curricular resistance to ongoing online education response and its contribution to the revaluation of daily experience as a source of knowledge, as well as to the transformation of citizens and the construction of the city.
