Social Dialogue with the Youth

The Social Dialogue with the Youth was an initiative of the Commission for Truth (Span. Comisión de la Verdad) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which had the purpose of convening young people to discuss issues of youth, resistance, resilience, coexistence, peace and non-repetition of armed conflicts and human rights violations in the country. The dialogues were held in the Orinoco, Nororiente, Bogota, Soacha and Sumapaz macro-regions, and the department of Cauca, and the participants discussed the role of the youth in the peace-building process, especially after the Commission for Truth concludes its activities. After the meetings, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) committed to systematize the content of the dialogues, summarizing the participants' remarks in a report.
