Training
As part of the “Peacebuilding and promotion of coexistence after violence” program, the International Catalan Institute for Peace (ICIP) works, in the field of strategies of memory, truth and reconciliation, by supporting different processes and initiatives, and by reflecting on different working methods. The Truth, Memory and Reconciliation Commission of Colombian Women in the Diaspora is an initiative led by citizens to contribute to peacebuilding in Colombia. Using a participatory and feminist methodology, this commission develops a project of documentation of the experiences of Colombian women in the armed conflict and in their migration processes. The objective is to help heal trauma and to contribute to the formal processes of truth, memory and reconciliation from the experience of the diaspora. Find all the info here.
Intimal
The workshop INTIMAL is focused on sharing and listening to Colombian women’s migration journey to breathe and relax all together. During this workshop, we will listen deeply to our bodies, the voices of others, and our dreams.
