Objective: to characterize the conceptions of the peacebuilding teacher profile of students and teachers in public schools located in Colombian post-conflict regions. Methodology: a non-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional research design was considered, using the Modified Natural Semantic Networks (RSNM) technique. Two hundred thirty-three students and 36 teachers selected from a non-probabilistic convenience sampling participated in the study. They attend four official educational institutions in the rural sector (a zone prioritized by the post-conflict) located in the Troncal del Caribe zone of the city of Santa Marta, in the department of Magdalena. For the analysis and processing of the data, the RSNM technique categories were taken into account: Network Size (J), Frequency (F), Semantic Weight (M), SAM Group, Semantic Distance (FMG) and Density of the Network (G); they were complemented by the Importance Frequency (IF) method and the consensual analysis of the RSNM configured by the different population groups studied. Results: the defining characteristics Respectful and Tolerant were evidenced as the constitutive core concepts of the conception of the peacebuilding teacher profile from the voices of students and teachers belonging to these schools. Conclusions: the conception of the peacebuilding teacher profile in the voices of students and teachers of public schools in the Colombian Caribbean highlights universal and moral values such as respect and tolerance when thinking about configuring peace processes in populations that have historically been affected by the armed conflict.
