SILVA-BELTRAN, Lady Dayan y GUALDRON PINTO, Elgar. Life narratives as means to heal social wounds in educational environments. Prax. Saber [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.36, pp.93-112. Epub 15-Oct-2023. ISSN 2216-0159. https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v14.n36.2023.15128.
This article presents a reflection on life narratives in educational contexts under circumstances of vulnerability. The participants were tenth and eleventh-grade students from a public school in Colombia. These students were all participants in the Cátedra de la Paz (Teaching for Peace), a Colombian academic program created to teach citizenship competences to students in order to promote a culture of peace through democratic coexistence. Students were asked to situate their experiences within the framework of the constructions of memory as an activity directed to heal social wounds. This qualitative-ethnographic research approach determined that the practice of educational introspection favors the processes of a culture of peace, both as an exemplary exercise and in the construction of new spaces that promote good treatment and help to others. Thus, delving into these narratives opens new possibilities in school environments where there are students who want to reflect and dialogue about the culture of peace. Finally, this has been an exercise that helps to build a positive social identity, allowing young people to contribute to social transformation by becoming agents of change in their immediate environments.
