Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present the results of a Participatory
Action Research whose objective was to develop a Community Training
Program through which participants learned to carry out Community Projects.
Aimed at members of the Los Naranjos Neighborhood Community Council in
the Municipality of Valencia, Carabobo state, Venezuela. Based on Maslow's
Theory of Needs. For its execution, a dichotomous instrument was applied in
order to diagnose the needs and applicability of the program, structured as
follows: An I Part, exploratory regarding prior knowledge of community projects.
A Part II, to specify the interest of participation of those consulted in developing
community projects. And a Part III, designed to determine the need to
implement a community formation program. From the results obtained from the
diagnosis, the need to create a training program based on satisfying the
cognitive need that facilitated them to carry out their own community projects
was determined. Finally, it was concluded that through community participation
in project management, they can be empowered and self-manage their social
development by being part of the decision-making related to public policies that
compete with them.
Keywords: training; community participation; social development.
