Educating for Peace in the public university: An Imperative in the Colombian Amazon?

Main Article Content

Wilson Juvenal Vallejo-Fuenmayor

Abstract

Between lights and shadows, fears and hopes, Colombia is walking in the process of implementing peace, therefore, the public university in the Amazon must stand up for the work of monitoring and accompanying the indigenous, Afro-descendant and peasant communities in defense of compliance with the agreements signed in 2016.


In the post-conflict period, the university should be thought of as a “university for peace”, projected in its social function, as an agent of peace, fostering access with equity, promoting relevant academic offerings, expanding coverage, training competent and socially responsible professionals and contributing to the elaboration and resignification of the nation project starting from the recognition of who we are from the Amazonian territory.


May the revolutionary spirit of the students of Córdoba illuminate the conquest of the right to stable and lasting peace for the Colombian Amazon, led by the Public University.
