Children Change Colombia in alliance with Rodeemos el Dialogo, held several events to disseminate the findings of the Lessons from the Colombian Truth Commission on children and young people, in the last week of April.

Karen Arteaga Gazón also shared the experiences of young people in different regions of the country who are part of Generación V+, an initiative that wants to promote the recommendations and findings from the Commission of Truth Report.

There were also two public events, one at the LSE Latin America and Caribbean Centre chaired by Professor Jenny Pearce and one at the Consulate of Colombia supported by the Embassy of Colombia.
We were delighted to see so many people interested in the topic and with initiatives to continue creating pedagogical spaces to promote and discuss children and young people’s rights. To see the pictures of the event please click here.
