Infancia constructora de paz

Abstract

Childhood as a Peace Builder is the short name of the project "Childhood in school: from the armed conflict victim to a peace builder". The purpose is to analyze the impact of communities of inquire as an alternative to prevent demonstrations of violence in the students from La Esperanza and Catumare in Villavicencio, who are affected by the armed conflict. The research question which is being solved is “In what ways are the communities of inquiry an alternative to prevent demostrations of violence in the students from La Esperanza School and Catumare School in Villavicencio, affected by the armed conflict?” The research context refers to the school population who is victim of the armed conflict and is also part of the educational institutions of Villavicencio. It is important to undertake a critical analysis to give proposals that lead a change in individuals, in their families and in our society. This analysis and its instruments are in the philosophical conceptions of authors like Mathew Lipman, Paulo Freire, Moacir Gadotti, among others; who have laid the foundations for critical thinking through the communities of inquire. The research project aims, in this way, to analyze the phenomenon from a critical and pedagogical perspective, while contributing to a social transition and a peace and reconciliation culture.
