Project News
The project was launched in 3 September 2020 with a YouTube channel set up with initial videos from PI and Co-Is from Medellin and Acapulco introducing the project, followed by videos with team members promoting particular key aspects of the project: Four videos have been released in our social media channels including Twitter, the School of Education of Glasgow University social media channels, and through our partner online platforms.
A survey with over 1000 citizens across MedellĂn was carried out to explore perceptions of peacebuilding and public policies implemented in the city.
In parallel a mapping exercise of the location and type of activities with nearly 500 grassroots organisations has also been carried out across the city. In Acapulco, a workshop with young people starts in June. Parents and young people will be part of artistic activities to explore the role of culture and nonformal education in their lives and neighbourhoods.
Preliminary findings will be included in forthcoming briefing papers that will be published at CR&DALL.
