Understandings around the resilience from the public policy and texts of some nongovernmental organizations with seat in Bogota who work with families in vulnerability situation. Diversitas [online]. 2007, vol.3, n.2, pp.335-348. ISSN 1794-9998.
This exercise of investigation examines the concepts of resilience within the published public policies and the literature of non governmental organizations who work with vulnerable families. It follows a qualitative methodology and focuses on a theoretical revision of the literature behind resilience. Also, it takes part of a teacher led investigation project: Resilience: identification, potentialization and construction. This investigation views resilience as a personal characteristic by which individuals recognize their inner potential and make good use of external factors to deal with adversity.
