LazosLearning has partnered with the Foundation for the Application and Teaching of the Sciences (FUNDAEC) in Colombia to offer two of its courses online.

A Discourse on Social Action: Unit 1 - Basic Concepts is a 10-week course that explores a few fundamental concepts that help create discourse on social action such as the purpose of existence, human nature, and the relationship between the individual and social institutions. The course also emphasizes the importance of language as a tool that permits reflecting on experience in an orderly manner, and seeks to strengthen powers of written and spoken expression.”

A Discourse on Social Action: Unit 2 - Education is a 12 week course that aims to help participants reflect on the purpose of education in the context of preparing individuals to participate in social action.”

Constructing a Conceptual Framework for Social Action is a 17-week graduate-level course from FUNDAEC’s Education for Development program. The course explores a framework within which an individual concerned with the transformation of society acts and reflects on action, and is directed to students of social processes, people engaged in social action, and those whose careers are oriented toward service.
