A dialogue to animate education and peace in Colombia

Abstract

Stories of reconciliation is a transmedia experience that collects the memories of people who have lived with violence and war in Colombia. Their stories are the script of an animated feature film and an interactive documentary. This project, directed by Carlos Santa and Rubén Monroy, was born in 2015, in response to the need to open opportunities for animation students at SENA - Center for the Graphic Communication Industry, will be linked to industry and development of real projects, in such a way that they will strengthen their performance as animators and the creative industry companies will generate confidence in their training. It was an experience in which it was mixed, or better, reconciled technique, research, artistic expression and forms of commercial and experimental production, in order to contribute to the construction of social fabric; which guides students to develop critical thinking related to such a complex issue as the war in Colombia.
