In search of consciousness: inclusion project “Desvincúla-T” of the PUCE - SD

Abstract

The consumption and addiction to drugs and alcohol by Ecuadorian teenagers is a constant problem in today's education. There is a difficult or absent response by educators in schools, thus, a certain silence or taboo is denoted as an answer of the educational institution and families. In this context, the "Desvincúla-T" inclusion project, originated at the Department of Psychology of the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador, based in Santo Domingo, with its philosophers, psychologists, educators and Students, oriented to motivate the search of meaning in the life of students. It has the main objective of preventing the harmful consumption of drugs and alcohol in high school students from schools of Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas, through a logoterapeutic approach. "Desvincúla-T" develops workshops by educators, psychologists and students of the university with the intention of holding days of personal reflection and inclusive experience with students at risk, as well as being able to value their emotions, feelings and perception of their reality.
