“We accompany the Inter-Church Commission of Justice and Peace together with ACT Swedish Church at the II Meeting of Young Peacebuilders in Buenaventura. More than 200 people gathered in the El Ruiz neighborhood in Comuna 12 to build cultural alternatives with young people from the territories.”

FICONPAZ has also posted:

“Ten collectives, made up of 250 young people from Buenaventura, strengthened their capacities in areas such as advocacy, communication, construction of life plans, conflict resolution and psychosocial skills for the construction of peace and coexistence in their communities through the PazAventura project.

Through this process of accompaniment and strengthening, PazAventura has sought to contribute to the promotion of protective environments, where young people can grow and have projects away from violence.

PazAventura is a project of @unicef_colombia in partnership with FICONPAZ and with the support of the Diocese of Buenaventura.”

PBI-Colombia has been accompanying the Inter-Church Justice and Peace Commission since 1994.
