Agenda
In its fourth edition, Bogota will bring to the Forum the knowledge resulting from its experiences to nurture dialogues and reflections leading to the prevention and participatory resolution of conflicts, as well as to the strengthening of peace processes that arise in the cities and territories of the world.
Initiatives such as the Territorial Development Programs (PDET), support for the reincorporation processes of ex-combatants and their families, the dignification of the victims of the armed conflict, and local processes of citizen reconciliation, among others, make the Colombian capital a propitious framework for learning about the achievements, opportunities and challenges in peace building.
Within this framework, and following the five thematic axes of the fourth edition of the Forum, a series of panel-type spaces, discussions and laboratories have been designed to facilitate the exchange of experiences and the appropriation of knowledge. In addition, a cultural agenda focused on peace and care initiatives has been added.

Guided Tour – Center for Memory, Peace and Reconciliation
Presentation “Cuando las aguas se juntan” – Cinemateca de Bogotá
“Cuando las aguas se Juntan” is the story of a group of women who suffer from war, but dare to build for peace. Against all kinds of obstacles they have confronted armed actors, won unprecedented lawsuits of sexual violence, challenged the cocaine economy and have heard and embraced each other to heal the pain that the war has left them.
These women, like the small rivers that unite to form the great Amazon, have opened a channel for a new politics centered on the human being, on solidarity and love, something corny in a man’s world, but possible in a world where women have a voice.

Guided tour – Manzana del cuidado en Ciudad Bolívar (public to be defined)
The District Care System is a Bogota program to recognize, reduce and redistribute unpaid care work among everyone.
