This project was executed with a sample of 26 students taking 13 different academic careers. Being a Context subject, and one of the fastest growing in demand for the School of Economics, the Chair expects students to attend this academic space with the seriousness and reflexivity that the analysis of audiovisual documents and documents about audiovisual requires.

The creator and teacher of the Chair Cinema, Economics and Society –inspired by the Diplomat in Didactic Processes of Reading, Writing and Orality in Higher Education offered by the Industrial University of Santander- tries to integrate elements of Cinema, Economics and Social Sciences mediated by the learning and increase of the Audiovisual capital to promote lexical capital and critical reading in Colombian university students. This text contains the main findings and conclusions of such experience.
