Abstract

This article systematically describes the teaching-learning pedagogical model developed and implemented by the Legal Assistance Group for Migrants (GPLM) in the department of Boyacá, Colombia. It is a pedagogical bet that arises as a criticism of legal formalism, the distancing of the academic community from its ethical and moral responsibility with its society and the need to protect the fundamental rights of Venezuelan refugees and migrants at the local level. Emphasizing the evolution and consolidation of the GPLM pedagogical model, its main implementation dimensions (theoretical-formative, practical-legal and logistical), the justifying theoretical framework and the presentation of quantitative and qualitative results will be exposed.
