Social adaptation processes of Venezuelan migrant adolescent students through academic inclusion in the Colombian education system in basic secondary

Abstract

The study arises from the intervention carried out with Venezuelan adolescent students migrated to the Garita north of Santander in Colombia. The purpose of the project focused on describing processes of adaptation to the Colombian territory through the inclusion of Venezuelan migrant students in the educational system of that country. The reasons for mobility respond to various factors and cause various effects on the population that is mobilized as well as on the territory that receives them. These effects include those that have to do with achieving adaptation to the new context. It is concluded that for the participants, migration was favorable in personal terms, since leaning at school had an impact on their sense of belonging and self-realization.
