With this, the Commission intends to anchor in the citizenry -resident in Colombia and abroad- processes of cultural and social transformation that contribute to the non-repetition of the conflict, taking into account the territorial, ethnic, and gender approach. Hence, the Commission has advanced efforts to fulfil this objective through Collaborative networks in different countries of Europe and America, which have also contributed to the pedagogical efforts founded on recognition, coexistence and not repetition.<\/p>\n<p>The Swedish Foundation for Human Rights (\u201cMR-Fonden\u201d) has supported the Truth Commission through different efforts such as supporting information dissemination activities, taking testimonies, delivering reports and carrying out listening acts. In addition, it has carried out collaborations, within the Commission&#8217;s pedagogy strategy framework, through alliances with social organizations to disseminate and mobilize society around the mandate of Truth and a culture of peace in Colombian society, especially that who resides abroad.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><div class=\"iframe-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"embed-responsive-item\"  title=\"Memorias del Ier Encuentro Internacional de Estudiantes Colombianas y Colombianos en Europa.\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_1qutbM-RTY?feature=oembed&#038;rel=0&#038;controls=1&#038;showinfo=0&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p>An important example of these efforts was the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/mrfonden.se\/en\/2021\/09\/07\/call-for-papers\/\">First International Meeting of Colombian Students in Europe.

Before the Meeting, five seminars were held with experts on the Colombian conflict who reflected on the country&#8217;s reality and questions about the legacies of truth and its character as a public good, its polyphonies and expressions in art, fanaticism and improbable dialogues. Among the expert guests were professors Hernando Valencia Villa (Seminar 1: The truth as a public good: political education and citizenry), V\u00edctor de Correa Lugo (Seminar 2: Disarming fanaticisms: improbable dialogues for truth and peace), Andr\u00e9s Bernal (Seminar 3: Diversity and Polyphonies of truth), Laura Quintana (Seminar 4: The legacies of truth for a society in transition) and Mar\u00eda Elisa Pinto (Seminar 5: The path of arts and reflections on a re-humanizing artistry).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLBedIjE2yLaE2tkDYBdHYokFKNwKNgULt\">Watch the full seminars here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The meeting lasted three days.

In this work table, the students presented their papers and exchanged perspectives with Dr. Vera Samudio, researcher at CINEP\/PP and the Technical Secretariat of the International Component for Verification of the Peace Agreements between the Colombian Government and the FARC-EP. The Secretary-General of MR-Fonden, Ulrika Strand, also made a special intervention, together with the professor and doctor in anthropology and member of feminist and victim movements Diana G\u00f3mez.<\/p>\n<p>The week ended (September 30), with the presentation of the Transmedia of the Truth Commission by Commissioner Luc\u00eda Gonz\u00e1lez, and the workshop &#8220;Arts, languages \u200b\u200band aesthetics of truth&#8221;, facilitated by Dr. Andrea Rodr\u00edguez S\u00e1nchez. Ana Isabel Barrera gave the closing statements from ICIP, while the organizers re-stated their commitment to the work of the CEV. Most importantly, the students took centre stage through their theoretical and methodological presentations on truth, memory, and its multiple dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>Just three months before the end of its mandate, the Commission has the task of explaining what happened during the conflict, why it happened, what consequences it left on the communities and what must be done so that this experience does not happen again. The narrative about the conflict that will be presented in its final report and its recommendations entail a tool for non-repetition and an instrument for reflection for the entire Colombian society, in which war refuses to die. Faced with a context of continuous violence, citizen initiatives, as well as initiatives from the Collaborative networks and organisations aimed at supporting the work of the Commission, acquire vital importance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More information on the work of the <a href=\"https:\/\/masalladelasfronteras.co\/2021\/09\/17\/cronograma-actualizado-del-i-encuentro-internacional-de-estudiantes-colombianas-y-colombianos-en-europa\/\">C\u00edrculo de la Palabra de Barcelona<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mrfonden.se\/en\/overgangsrattvisa\/colombia\/un-encuentro-de-estudiantes-por-la-verdad\/\">Read full article in Spanish.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of its mandate, the\u00a0Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence, and Non-Repetition\u00a0(\u201cCommission\u201d or \u201cCEV\u201d)\u00a0has developed a &hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1092,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<title>Colombian students meeting for the Truth -
