This article presents an analysis of various narratives written by young students at Universidad de La Salle in relation to the notions of post-conflict and peace in the context of the recent peace talks and Peace Agreement between the Colombian State and the former FARC-EP. The analysis is proposed from the understanding of their positions, aesthetics, forms of enunciation and horizons of meaning built on experiences of political participation around peace. The discussion of the narratives vindicate the social movements and youth participation as central scenarios in the formation of political subjects, as long as they enable competences in the active exercise of citizenship such as the dialogue of knowledge, the democratization of information and knowledge, and the construction of meaning and critical reflection, which are necessary for the construction of peace in Colombia.
