Nevertheless, far from withdrawing from public life, they organize, create, and resist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Youth repertoires for building peace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The research team worked with local youth leaders, developing a qualitative methodology that included 26 interviews with young people and accompaniment in 14 political participation activities.\n\n\u201cThe first and perhaps most important thing is how young people interpret the violence that affects them, because peacebuilding is intertwined with the ways violence is experienced in their lives. We argue that violence affects them across multiple dimensions: individually (personal identity and life projects), within the family (domestic violence), in the community (weakened social fabric), and territorially (structural precariousness),\u201d explained Daniel S\u00e1nchez, researcher at Universidad de los Andes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on this work, the team identified three key repertoires for peacebuilding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Everyday resistance: strategies of care and unlearning violent behaviors in order to break naturalized cycles of violence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Defense of identity: actions aimed at protecting and making Afro and Indigenous cultures visible as a foundation for peacebuilding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Negotiation: interventions by young people as mediators to enable the continuity of everyday life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYes, we have managed and we will continue to take young people away from violence.\u201d<br>\u2014 Testimony collected during fieldwork<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI realized there were other ways of doing the same thing\u2026 I\u2019ve learned to channel all that anger through art and build a pedagogy of resistance.\u201d<br>\u2014 Testimony collected during fieldwork<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">These forms of action are not limited to formal organizations. Many young people participate through informal collectives, cultural expressions, educational initiatives, or neighborhood-based alliances. Youth participation in Quibd\u00f3 is diverse, context-specific, and deeply political. In this city, young people play a key role in broad processes such as peacebuilding and urban governance\u2014even in contexts highly affected by violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"968\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/315DFCE4-A01B-4ADD-8DD3-E8AA7F9033FC_4_5005_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/315DFCE4-A01B-4ADD-8DD3-E8AA7F9033FC_4_5005_c.jpeg 968w, https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/315DFCE4-A01B-4ADD-8DD3-E8AA7F9033FC_4_5005_c-300x112.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/315DFCE4-A01B-4ADD-8DD3-E8AA7F9033FC_4_5005_c-768x286.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nextgenc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/315DFCE4-A01B-4ADD-8DD3-E8AA7F9033FC_4_5005_c-18x7.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 968px) 100vw, 968px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toward fairer urban governance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">NextGenC\u2019s participation in La Tr\u00edada reaffirms the project\u2019s commitment to producing situated knowledge and recognizing youth as central actors in transforming their territories.
