Programa, Atlántico 22

Abstract

The "Voices and Regions" program focused on the topic of coexistence, highlighting its significance in daily life and the challenges it faces in different settings such as home, work, and community. The panelists discussed the need to promote values like respect, tolerance, and solidarity to maintain harmonious relationships. They also emphasized the role of coexistence in societal development and its impact on people’s emotional and physical health. The discussion covered the difficulties affecting coexistence, such as intolerance, selfishness, and unemployment, and how these issues can create conflicts within the community. Gender violence and bullying in schools were identified as critical problems that damage social harmony. The importance of education in values and the role of families in shaping more tolerant citizens were also highlighted. Another crucial aspect addressed in the program was political coexistence, especially in the context of Colombia’s electoral processes. The speakers urged citizens to foster dialogue and mutual respect, avoiding conflicts and divisions due to ideological differences. The program concluded with a reflection on how coexistence is essential for collective well-being and the progress of communities.
