  • Summary

    Children and youth who grow up in violent contexts often learn and reproduce aggressive attitudes and behaviors, which leads to a perpetuation of cycles of violence in their societies. School-based initiatives may contribute to stopping these cycles using, at least, two approaches. First, schools can facilitate the development of the social and emotional competencies students need to establish peaceful relationships with others. Second, schools can become caring and safe environments where processes of forgiveness and reconciliation are possible. Based on these two approaches, this chapter describes examples of pedagogical alternatives aimed at preventing revenge as a form of reactive aggression and promoting reconciliation. The chapter focuses on initiatives that have been designed and implemented in Colombia, a country that has suffered many decades of armed conflict. The multiple challenges of implementation and recommendations that may apply to other contexts with similar characteristics are discussed.
