Memory, Children and peace pedagogy in Northeast Antioquia (Colombia), 2018-2019

Abstract

This article is an approach to the intergenerational memory of childhoods and the post-memory of boys and girls of different generations, who have lived in the northeast of Antioquia (Colombia). It seeks to contribute to the pedagogy of peace in the Colombian peace process or post-agreement. The multiple types of violence that have arisen in the Colombian armed conflict have not only left millions of victims, but also have crossed and shaped the memory and history of the country, of all generations. The childhoods of different generations have lived and interpreted the experience of violence in different ways, many of them derived from the Colombian armed conflict. The voices of the childhoods of different generations have historically been little recognized, despite being fundamental actors in the construction of the memories of the territory. In the first case, expressions of memory of former combatants who lived their childhood in the guerrillas are presented, and in the second case, voices of boys and girls of different generations who have lived in zones of armed conflict and that today mean their experiences as memory intergenerational and post memory.
