MIJANGOS NOH, Juan Carlos; CASTILLO ROCHA, Carmen  and  REYES-MENDOZA, Nayely Melina. Learning with Mayan children: An experience of non-formal education in new ruralities. Sinéctica [online]. 2017, n.49. ISSN 2007-7033.

This paper examines the educational experiences in a community that is characterized through the elements proposed in the concept of new rurality (Grammont, 2004; Martinez y Bustos, 2011). This successful experience of rural education was addressed from the theoretical perspective and practice of non-formal education (Rogers, 2005). In the document we gather, describe and analyze three actions that have been and are part of a more ample educational project which searches to generate emancipatory conditions in the community where we work. We explain how the new rurality characteristics of the community are conditioning the actions of non-formal education, setting diverse sorts of interaction in organizational and human relationships. The results and conclusions of this experience allow glimpsing non-formal education as an alternative in front of the severe crisis in education we are living in Mexico.

Keywords : new rurality; non-formal education; Mayan children.
