Mecanismos y estrategias implementados en la educación secundaria para la generación de una cultura de paz

Abstract

The audiovisual “Mechanisms and strategies implemented in secondary education for the generation of a culture of peace” made during February - November 2018 aims to demonstrate the ways in which educational institutions manage strategies to strengthen peaceful environments in the school environment. The population that was worked with corresponds to the IED Antonio José Uribe, located in the San Bernardo neighborhood of the city of Bogotá, specifically the 8th and 9th grades. Through workshops, cartographies and socialization spaces (rap battles, plays and stencils) we sought to realize the meaning that peace has for students, and the situations, practices and relationships in which they emphasize the need to promote it as a superior value. Contrary to what was expected, peace for this type of population is not as related to a structural issue as the historic armed political conflict in Colombia, as stipulated from institutional strategies such as the chair of peace, but rather with a everyday context that implies your neighborhood, your family, your peers and the school space. Despite this, it is also necessary to strengthen the knowledge related to such a more structural conflict.
