Abstract

Community education is based on social bonds and ethical commitment to the local territory. This article analyzes educational experiences that integrate the dimension of faith—understood as active hope and secular transcendence—with the critical appropriation of technology. Unlike traditional denominational models, this proposal explores how humanist values and community spirituality can guide the use of digital tools for collective empowerment. The theoretical framework is supported by the pedagogy of liberation and social connectivism. Through a qualitative analysis of practices in peripheral communities, the study examines how technology facilitates grassroots organization and peer-to-peer learning. It is concluded that technology, when stripped of its mercantilist burden and guided by an ethics of care, strengthens the social fabric and the autonomy of communities.
