Throughout its history, FUNDAEC has produced, documented, and shared a wealth of knowledge that reflects its work across multiple fields. This body of work includes books, teaching and learning modules, specialized documents (both published and for internal use), manuals, pamphlets, newsletters, and audiovisual resources.
Beyond its own publications, FUNDAEC’s programs have been the subject of extensive academic research. Numerous articles, conference papers, and master’s and doctoral theses have examined their impact in different regions of Colombia and in countries around the world.

Weaving Paths: The Story of an Education That Sows Hope is a journey through the experiences, learning processes, and efforts that have given life to FUNDAEC over five decades. Through education and service, communities, collaborators, partners, and alumni have woven together a shared story of transformation and hope. With this commemorative film, we conclude the celebration of FUNDAEC’s 50 years, expressing gratitude to all the people who have made this shared path possible.
The Path of the Promoter follows the path of those who, through the Program for Social Action Preparation (PSA), have accompanied community transformation processes for more than twenty years. This documentary shows how service, learning, and collective action can open pathways of hope and contribute to building a better future for individuals and communities.
