Narrativa de niños y niñas: Museo itinerante, adiós a la guerra, los colores de la paz

Abstract

The present investigation talks about the narratives of boys and girls in the framework of the convocation of the traveling Museum ¡Adiós a la guerra! Los colores de la Paz; proposal developed by the Education for Peace Collective1, led since 2014 by teacher Marieta Quintero Mejía on behalf of the Distrital University. The call took place between March 16 and April 15, 2015. More than 1921 drawings from ten departments of the country (Antioquia, Nariño, Putumayo, Caquetá, Valle del Cauca, Casanare, Magdalena, Santander, Cauca and Huila). The ages of the participating boys and girls ranged from 7 to 12 years old and were from territories affected by the internal armed conflict, some belonging to indigenous communities, others located in rural contexts, and others in conditions of special educational needs. The Museum ¡Adiós a la guerrea!: Los colores de la paz, was meant to comprehend the way in which boys and girls of our country relate their experience or knowledge in relation to the internal armed conflict. These narratives not only portrayed unfortunate events that occurred in the context of the war, but also gave the opportunity for boys and girls to express their wishes and make proposals for ending the armed conflict.
