Paisajes inadvertidos, la influencia de la pedagogía en la memoria y la reconciliación

Abstract

One of the great pedagogical proposals made by the Center for Memory, Peace and Reconciliation, was the elaboration of a book that includes various stories of victims of different forms of violence within the framework of the armed conflict. Inadvertent Landscapes were chosen, among other projects, because the book is a very representative tool of pedagogy and because it was an initiative carried out jointly by the victims and / or relatives and relatives of them

The main objective is to make visible what was the war in the city of Bogotá and the victims of the conflict that still inhabit it and are waiting for a comprehensive reparation. The exercise of memory allows the recipients of the stories to be empathetic to the events and to the people who suffered it, their interpretation is transformed into recognition, the first step for reconciliation, since it allows us to identify, who are the victims, what not It must be repeated and what relationships must be healed to give the necessary conditions to overcome.

In order to demonstrate the influence of the book on the processes of memory and reconciliation, the comparative method was used. We worked with focus groups consisting of 12 to 15 people and will be classified as: students (university and college), public officials, private officials and businessmen.
