Besides the Slam, we will be gathering at the Environmental Management for Peace Lab-Workshop, where you work on strengthening your knowledge and experiences on these topics alongside students, representatives from research institutions, local and regional leadership, and enhance your creative skills in the Slam practice.
Lab-Workshop
The task of building peace in Colombia continues to be pertinent. The agreements signed in 2016 were a starting point to de-escalate violence and initiate processes of truth, justice, reparation, and non-repetition. In order to envision potential desired territories with enhanced living conditions for communities and their environment, the active participation of communities, social organisations, academic institutions, and governmental bodies is essential. By acknowledging existing knowledge and experiences, it becomes crucial to explore the potential contributions of environmental management in addressing the challenge of constructing peaceful territories.
During the lab-workshop, you will have the opportunity to strengthen your knowledge and experiences on these topics alongside students, representatives from research institutions, local and regional leadership, and enhance your creative skills in the Slam practice.
