PRÁCTICAS PARA LA NO VIOLENCIA: LA EXPERIENCIA COMO FUENTE DE APRENDIZAJE DE LA CULTURA DE LA PAZ -- PRACTICES FOR THE NON-VIOLENCE: THE EXPERIENCE AS A BRIDGE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE CULTURE OF PEACE
Abstract
This article reveals the experience of implementation of the program Education for NonViolence, presented in the Manuel Zapata Olivella School de la Comuna 4 Los Olivos in Barranquilla. The concept of Non-Violence and Culture of Peace represents a new form of facing the violence, not only an opposing obtuse, but according to the idea of peace the same comprehension of violence can be taught and learnt. The program had been implemented among a population more vulnerable to aggression and violence. Alongside the program managed to understand mutual learning from both side. So far it succeeded in decreasing the rates of mistreatments in the population, and other side the concientisation of the auditor groups with respect to the psychosocial risks which represents the violence and the appreciation of the education as a protecting factor.
