"Weaving a Fabric of Unity" shares the story of the pioneering enterprise that came to be identified as FUNDAEC (the Foundation for the Application and Teaching of Science), highlighting five decades of stories, learning, and insight from key individuals central to shaping its evolution. The book outlines FUNDAEC’s unique conceptual and methodological approach, which is focused on the releasing of human potentialities and the integration of theory and practice, bringing the reader on the journey of how the organization created one of Latin America’s most innovative curriculum in rural development. It shares how FUNDAEC’s focus on raising up individuals and communities dedicated to the promotion of community well-being supported its efforts to organically scale over the last few decades, reaching hundreds of thousands of students across Colombia and being adopted in over a dozen countries to support diverse populations working towards the collective realization of a dignified future.
