Teaching is concentrated in the faculties and schools, and the departments deal with research, which is also conducted by institutes and chairs, at the same time responsible for knowledge promotion.
The main objective is to contribute to community protection and the implementation of the Final Peace Agreement in Colombia in order to improve the prevention, protection and safety of the signatories of peace, defenders of human rights and social leadership. The aim is to strengthen the capacity of communities to identify risks and react to violence and stigma, expanding their historical scope (Cauca and Valle del Cauca) towards a national dimension and a cross-border analysis on the southern border with Ecuador.
The following activities are described in two areas of action:
Validating, digitalising and implementing the ‘Segurometer’: it is a community protection tool that is designed and contextualised based on the evidence collected during the ethnography carried out in January 2025 in the Cauca and Valle del Cauca. It has two objectives: a) Identify the levels of insecurity and protection of communities and make political impact; b) Identify, give visibility and transfer community security strategies and make political impact.
Cross-border research collaboration with FLACSO - Ecuador: A significant number of FARC dissidents have crossed border areas for political or security reasons. In this context, a research collaboration work has been agreed between the FLACSO - Ecuador teams and the UdG team, for the preparation of a report - diagnosis of the situation of the signatories of peace on the border between Colombia and Ecuador.
Itinerance from the photographic exhibition ‘Becoming (r) peace’: During the execution of the project ‘Protection, pedagogy and reconciliation for the construction of peace in Colombia,’ a first selection of photographs of the ethnographic work carried out in the Cauca and the Cauca Valley was made. This action consists of two parts. The first is an extension of the selection of photographs for greater content printing. The second part is related to travelling, so that the exhibition is organised in 5 different municipalities in Catalonia.
Production of a visual ethnography book: Creation, edition and dissemination of a book that combines visual ethnographic methodologies with life storeys of the signatories of peace in Colombia. The aim is to give visibility to the challenges and hopes that accompany the reintegration process, and to highlight its transformative potential and commitment to the construction of peace. Fieldwork, support and editing are carried out by the UdG. s research team.
University action laboratories: Co-design and implementation of 4 laboratories (two at the UdG and two at FLACSO-Catalonia) based on the study promoted by the Teaching Innovation Network on Human Rights, Peace and Sustainability at the UdG(www.udg.edu/ca/ice/innovacio-www./ xarxes-dinnovacio-www./ xid-drets-humans-pau-i-www.).It includes practical classes through real cases and is enriched by the stay at the UdG of a signatory of peace.
Audiovisual competition on PAU, Human and Sustainability: Organisation of the 1st Competition for audiovisual works created with mobile phones on Human Rights, PAU and Sustainability. It is aimed at students from Catalan universities and receives technical support from the Más Retina Association (https://xarxanet.org /:/mas-retina), dedicated to the promotion of global justice, peace, human rights, gender equality and education for development.
Social documentary on signatories of PAU and community leadership in a post-conflict context: One of the challenges in maintaining PAU in Colombia is raising awareness of the contributions of the signatories of PAU and highlighting community strategies for defending PAU. For this reason, and within the framework of the research stays of the UdG team in Colombia, together with IAP and the Más Retina Association, recordings are made of the documentary on the narratives of resistance and the ancestral knowledge of peasant and indigenous communities.
Stays of a signatory within the framework of the Diplomat of Peace: Two-month transfer stay, by a person signing peace at the UdG, and previously graduated from the Diploma in Peace (promoted by COBSEPAZ and the University of the Valley).
