The objective of the present investigation was to reconstruct the history of the corregimiento of Tasajera for the preservation of the cultural identity of the students. The research is qualitative, the participating population is the fourth grade students of the Palermo Rural Educational Institution. As an information gathering technique, the interview was used and the history of life was applied as an instrument. As conclusions it is important to infer that within the school there is little tolerance among students so the challenge, for the Educational Institution is to implement strategies that strengthen a healthy coexistence hand in hand with democracy and citizenship training since it has a close relationship with education and therefore these aspects favor individuals so that they have and can carry in the situations that are presented to them on a daily basis.
