Voces y saberes de niños y niñas frente al conflicto a propósito de la construcción de una cultura de paz

Abstract

This study, developed from a qualitative methodology, aims to understand the knowledge of children when facing conflict, due to the importance that this social phenomenon has for the construction of a culture of peace. The research recognizes the transcendence of a child’s role in the transformation of conflicts, as well as language, from which it is possible to explore the meanings that children have woven? in relation to this social phenomenon. For the information analysis, an examination of the content was carried out, identifying categories such as the origins of the conflict, the possibilities of transformation and perpetuation of the same, from the voices and knowledge of the children. The relationship between categories facilitated the creation of different meanings in the face of conflict, which allows us to rethink initiatives in relation to the construction of the long-awaited culture of peace.
