Memories for a site. Young people and adolescents in the Cro-Magnon sanctuary

Abstract

This work presents a pedagogical proposal for secondary school students at the Cromañón shrine, located in the Balvanera neighborhood of Buenos Aires. It consists of a series of activities that primarily involve a visit to the memorial site and the memorial markers surrounding it. It also explores what happened on December 30, 2004, and the following days, the path of struggle and resistance of the organizations of family members and survivors, the interests and transformations in the social and cultural life of young people, and the history of Argentine rock music, among other topics that may arise and be addressed when discussing Cromañón. In this way, considering the experiences of other activities carried out at the shrine, the project seeks to generate input and provide ideas for working with adolescents and fostering the construction of memories around this growing memorial site. Twenty years after the massacre, it is essential to create resources and opportunities for dialogue and reflection with new generations.
