Embrace Dialogue

Creating spaces for reflection on the transition to peace

Embrace Dialogue

Embrace Dialogue uses memory activities to reflect on the impact of the conflict on marginalised regions and the complexity of building truth in Colombia with students and teachers. It built a network of teachers in Bogotá, Cali and Pasto to make sure that they continue teaching about memory and truth. During the COVID-19 pandemic they expanded their online operations, working with young people to talk about the past and plan to transform the future. You can download and use the teaching guides they produced, read the book they produced about being part of history, listen to the Spanish-language podcast series ‘Between Memories and Histories’, and see photographs of their classroom work in action.

If we identify student’s emotions, we can transform the negative perception of the peace agreement, which is usually based in misunderstandings circulated on social media through fake news. (Karen, October 2019).
