Often, this form of discrimination is hidden in social structures and manifests itself in everyday life. Recognizing and revealing classism in our environment enables us to <strong>questioning our own attitudes and prejudices<\/strong>, as well as understanding how it affects people in a multiplicity of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to research classism to understand its scope and work towards a more just society? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using different methodologies of <strong>participatory research<\/strong>, students will inquire about attitudes, perceptions, relationships or practices related to classism in order to design participatory and collaborative strategies that will <strong>strengthen social cohesion and solidarity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Participants will learn to:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apply <\/strong>appropriately <strong>methodologies<\/strong> of participatory action research.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use<\/strong> <strong>strategies<\/strong> to cooperate and resolve tensions arising from collective action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Identify and critically analyze<\/strong> attitudes, perceptions, relationships or practices that promote or mitigate classism.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This challenge is aimed at:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students of any discipline, from <strong>master's degree or undergraduate<\/strong>, of <strong>fifth semester or higher.<\/strong> Each team must be made up of five students of legal age and have<strong> a university professor<\/strong> to lead the team throughout the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is divided into <strong>five phases<\/strong> that guide the teams in designing and implementing a <strong>participatory research<\/strong> in their immediate environment to identify and critically analyze attitudes, perceptions, relationships or practices that promote or mitigate classism.
