Resumen

This research began with the development of a fieldwork project working with children victims of the armed conflict Living in Bucaramanga city and who Bucaramanga, who continuously visit an interactive space of a public entity. Through a diagnostic process, the deficiencies presented by boys and girls concerning citizen competencies evidenced a problem that has made rather difficult to keep a place in the in the formal education system due to the constant stigmatization, non-acceptance of the difference, and harassment among students. Based on this diagnosis, we reflected on the need to strengthen citizen competencies in children victims of the armed conflict. This will lead to an academic sequence whereby, through the development of seven sessions, the participants consolidate knowledge, participation, democratic responsibility and plurality, identity, and appreciation of difference. These sessions are characterized by involving fun and engaging activities in each of them as a crucial strategy for their development; and they are planned to be developed in open places such as parks, green areas, interactive spaces, among others. Finally, this research invites teachers to join this pedagogical strategy for the development of citizen competencies into their educational practices, in favor of building better citizens, who contribute to the minimization of difference and to guarantee equal and tolerant treatment in spaces like school, home, community, and society, this will broaden the way for the long-awaited peace that Colombia requires.
