Conventional approaches to peace education have not led to more peaceful societies. In order to produce the broad political and social shifts that many peace educators have envisioned, a new type of educational approach is needed. Conflict transformation education (CTE) is a promising new approach that seeks to shift attitudes at a group level rather than individually, and embraces rather than denies its explicit political aim to shift social norms regarding the use of violence. CTE could be a useful tool in the post-peace agreement Colombian context.
Los enfoques convencionales para la construcción de paz no han llevado a sociedades más pacíficas. Es necesario un nuevo enfoque de la educación para así
producir el alcance político y los cambios sociales que muchos educadores para la paz han previsto. La Educación para la Transformación del Conflicto (CTE) es un enfoque prometedor que busca transformar actitudes a nivel grupal más que individual; y afronta, en lugar de negar, su anhelo político de cambiar normas
sociales respecto al uso de la violencia. La CTE puede ser una herramienta útil en el contexto del posconflicto del acuerdode paz en Colombia.
