The event took place in the César Carrizales Auditorium of the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos (UAEM), with the participation of 50 attendees, including students, faculty, and researchers. It was supported by the Interdisciplinary Research Center for University Development (CIIDU) and the Human Rights Commission of the State of Morelos.
During the activities, two roundtable discussions were held with specialists, who discussed various psychological, economic, and social factors that influence the construction of a culture of peace, also providing a space for public participation.
As part of a comprehensive strategy promoted by the Cuernavaca City Council, led by Mayor José Luis Urióstegui Salgado, these workshops will continue to be held in the municipality’s educational and community centers, with the goal of fostering an active citizenry in building a comprehensive peace that encompasses all areas, including the social and educational.
