TRIMINO VELASQUEZ, Celina  and  AMEZQUITA AGUIRRE, Luisa. Reflections from the university on an education in human rights and intended for peace. Rev.hist.educ.latinoam. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.31, pp.101-124. ISSN 0122-7238.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01227238.8564.

The university has the challenge and the responsibility to train in human rights, as well as to promote spaces for reflection on peace as a transcendental contribution to the Colombian society. In this way, the aim of this work is to analyze the relevance of educating in both human rights for peace, and to study the characteristics of conflicts and the role of the university and its proposals in these scenarios. This article is part of the critical studies of the topics that are necessary to approach the processes of peace foundations in a post-agreement scenario in Colombia. The method consisted in an extensive literature review and the methodological strategy focused on the analysis of the developed topics, thus facilitating the interdisciplinary dialogue between theories, ideas or approaches on conflicts, human rights, and peace. In this context, we find alternative pedagogies that strengthen the vision of human rights, articulated in an education for peace from interculturality. It can be inferred that, although the university advances in the preparation and implementation of new proposals, it is essential to continue the process of consolidating a culture of peace, which leads to the formation of citizens who can enhance their human capabilities in the construction of peace in a country that has lived immersed in a long armed conflict.
