Abstract
BOCANEGRA GARCIA, Carlos A. and CAMACHO DELGADO, Freddy M.. University Education Program for young people who serve in the military in border areas - Perú UniFFAAGoL. Horizontes Rev. Inv. Cs. Edu. [online]. 2021, vol.5, n.20, pp.93-104. ISSN 2616-7964. https://doi.org/10.33996/revistahorizontes.v5i20.255.
An inclusive university education program for young people who perform military service in border areas is presented, which can be called UniFFAAGoL, supported by the actors: University, Armed Forces (FFAA), and Local Governments. The objective was to contribute to local development using its strengths. The program is a response to the lack of educational opportunities at the higher level in the border areas, the scarce development of the communities, and little interest in voluntary military service, the growing unemployment and with it the delinquency. The proposal arises from the question of how we creatively face or develop the "imagination" to overcome this situation. The research was carried out using the ethnographic method. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the program and can be a benchmark under the conditions described.
