Artesanos de Paz: Promoting everyday peacebuilding among children and youth through a participatory theater-based intervention in Colombia.

This article will present qualitative data from 75 children and young people between the ages of 7 and 18 across three urban settings in Colombia and qualitative interviews with the adult stakeholders involved in the intervention, such as theater teachers and auxiliary researchers. A thematic analysis identified three major themes relating to peace: educating for peace, everyday peacebuilding, and building sustainable peace. From these categories, a textual data analysis was conducted using KH-Coder software to find co-occurrence networks. The implications for this article serve to further reinforce United Nations Resolutions 2250 (2015), 2419 (2018), and 2535 (2020), recognizing the essential role of children and youth in peacebuilding processes.
