Se realizó una sistematización de la experiencia de: “círculos de la palabra” con líderes barriales del municipio de Villamaría, Caldas, Colombia entre 2016 y 2019, con base en los lineamientos de los autores: Jara, Ghiso y Verger. La experiencia permitió identificar tres hitos: “conocernos, el acompañamiento y los sueños”, “sujetos de conocimiento” y “la experiencia construida socialmente”. Los círculos de la palabra se configuraron para dar a los líderes de las comunidades un espacio donde tener voz y promover la reflexión movilizadora, construir tejidos y crear redes sociales de apoyo para conseguir un buen vivir.
