Bogotá-Colombian University Youth’ Social Images of the Reintegration Process of ex-FARC-EP Guerrillas into Local Civil Society
Imágenes sociales de jóvenes universitarios de Bogotá, Colombia, sobre el proceso de reincorporación de exguerrilleros de las FARC-EP a la sociedad civil.
Contenido principal del artículo
This exploratory qualitative case study recruited twelve youth who were in the first semester of their university programs of study in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. The research explores their social images of the FARC-EP ex-combatants’ reintegration process, and how they perceive possible interactions with ex-combatants that could occur in spaces such as the university, the local neighbourhood, and the work place. They expressed their fears, rejection, acceptance, and hopes related to FARC-EP ex-combatants’ reintegration into civil society. Their narratives expressed an insider’s knowledge and emotions about the peacebuilding process-taking place in the country. The storytelling methodology was used as a strategy to generate data from young people in protracted conflicts (see Senehi, 2019). This study contributes to the Peace and Conflict Studies (PACS) and Peace Psychology literature fields by highlighting the crucial role of including youth voices in peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts in post-peace accord societies (see Byrne et al., 2019).
