Abstract

This project is part of the integration of two headquarters (Bogotá and Tunja) from their Humanities and Comprehensive Training Departments, to support from the academy the different government and civil society processes that seek to build peace in the territories. In this sense, it seeks to determine the ethical-political foundations that support the clarification of the truth in different settings and communities affected by the armed conflict and in transition processes, as well as the capacity of cultural agency; Therefore, it aims to be a support for the mission of the Commission for the clarification of Truth, peaceful coexistence and non-repetition in Colombia between 2019 and 2021. Multifaceted samples (experiences, narratives, testimonies and concepts) will be taken from groups diverse as victims committees, young students with political affinity, former members of illegal groups, academics, and other groups that, from the documentary status, can help us understand the notions to clarify what happened in the conflict, the experiences of peaceful coexistence and the bets not to repeat these events that still mark the horizon of violence in Colombia.
