Building knowledge between school, university and territory

Abstract

This article deals with the relationship between the biographicallife stories and their contexts, between voices and their (re)presentation in the development of a narrative web platform. Explora conmigo donde vivimos-Explora El Cabanyal project facilitates interaction between school, neighbourhood and university. The voices of the Cabañal neighbourhood (Valencia) are represented in the different stories that build and configure the project’s website. The interactive or reciprocal relationship between voices, lives and contexts has to be made explicit by the research. It is assumed that the task of interpretative research is to transform life stories into life histories, action narratives into context genealogies, using appropriate triangulation and methodologies. This is a complex work that analyses a situation of exchange of knowledge and experiences between education professionals. In this project, cultures meet and get to know each other, generating a shared context between school, university and territory.
