La paz con los ojos abiertos: Periodismo, comunicación y construcción de paz en Colombia

Nubia Rojas (ed.)

Cartagena de Indias: Fundación Gabo (2019), 111 pp.

"[...] la Fundación Gabo, que él [Gabriel García Márquez] mismo fundó, diseñó el proyecto “La paz con los ojos abiertos: periodismo, comunicación y construcción de paz en Colombia”, que honra y recoge el legado de Gabo en estos tres ámbitos. La iniciativa, que contó con el apoyo de la ... organización holandesa Porticus y el Programa de Alianzas para la Reconciliación de la Agencia de Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID) y ACDI/VOCA, tuvo como objetivo propiciar un proceso participativo y colaborativo de reflexión sobre el rol que han asumido, y que podrían asumir, el periodismo y la comunicación, en un sentido amplio, en la construcción de espacios de diálogo, convivencia y reconciliación en Colombia después de la firma del acuerdo de paz con uno de los grupos alzados en armas del país. Para lograrlo, la Fundación Gabo priorizó seis sectores: organizaciones e instituciones públicas implicadas directamente en el período del posacuerdo (organizaciones civiles locales y medios comunitarios); community managers, gestores de contenido y estrategas digitales, medios de comunicación y periodistas; sector privado y empresariado; y sector educativo. Durante seis meses llevó a cabo siete talleres en Bogotá, Medellín y Cartagena (uno con cada sector y otro de carácter estratégico al inicio), en los cuales se exploraron las lecciones aprendidas en experiencias periodísticas y de comunicación pasadas y presentes, emanadas de esos sectores. Tras la reflexión conjunta, surgieron una serie de recomendaciones con las que se pretende proponer una hoja de ruta que permita trazar el camino hacia una comunicación con visión de país, que responda a los desafíos de la actual coyuntura. “La paz con los ojos abiertos” es una propuesta innovadora en su abordaje. Hasta donde se sabe, no ha habido iniciativas similares, en las que un abanico tan amplio y diverso de sectores sociales hayan analizado su aporte a la construcción de la paz desde el ejercicio periodístico o de la comunicación en espacios en los que, más que buscar consensos, se propicie el diálogo entre diversas concepciones de país. El presente documento contiene algunas de las reflexiones más importantes en este campo, así como las recomendaciones ya mencionadas. Así mismo, recoge el trabajo llevado a cabo por la Fundación Gabo alrededor de los temas relacionados con el proyecto en sus 23 años de historia, repasa el surgimiento de iniciativas de comunicación, periodismo y construcción de paz en su contexto mientras las enmarca conceptualmente, y analiza el camino que estas han recorrido hasta la actualidad. Muchas de ellas fueron destacadas por los participantes en los talleres y son brevemente caracterizadas. También se incluye una línea de tiempo con algunos acontecimientos relevantes de los últimos 70 años, que, sin embargo, no pretende ser un resumen histórico, sino que quiere ubicar al lector en el contexto al que se refiere el documento."

The goal of the “‘I Love My Country:’ Promoting Localized Understanding and Peaceful Coexistence in South Sudan” project is to build greater understanding and application of key concepts embodied within the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (ARCSS) through key stakeholder meetings, participatory theater performances, civil society engagement, small-scale peace initiatives, short media productions, and radio drama production and broadcast. The project began on December 15, 2016 is expected to end on June 15, 2018. The purpose of the “‘I Love My Country’: Strategic Communications for Peace Building in South Sudan” project is “to promote social cohesion, resilience, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts among individuals and communities in South Sudan” by strengthening national platforms for diverse and constructive and promoting peace, tolerance, and reconciliation with key groups and individuals. Search for Common Ground, iHub, UNESCO, and Catholic Radio Network launched the project in November 1, 2014 and it was concluded on March 1, 2017. The objectives of the baseline evaluation for PLUPC are to update the analysis of local conflict dynamics in the targeted zones for outreach activities, collect baseline data for project indicators, to reflect upon the Objectives and Theory of Change (TOC) of the project, and to evaluate potential risks to project participants, implementing staff, and partners. The final evaluation for SCPB seeks to measure changes in key indicators after the implementation of activities, evaluate the project using OECD-DAC criteria (relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability), and provide lessons learned and recommendations to inform future peace building activities in the country."
