EDUCATION FOR PEACE .<\/p>\n

An article from TV Santiago<\/a><\/p>\n

A panel on the intellectual production of the South was held today (February 12) at the XXXI International Book Fair in Havana, Cuba. It stressed the need to build a culture of peace based on the progress of the nations of the world.<\/p>\n

Taking place at the Nicol\u00e1s Guill\u00e9n Hall of the San Carlos de La Caba\u00f1a Fortress, the conversation included the interventions of Patricia Ariza Fl\u00f3rez, Minister of Culture, Arts and Knowledge of Colombia; Aliou Sow, Minister of Culture and Historical Heritage of Senegal, and Enrique Ubieta, director of Cuba Socialista magazine.<\/p>\n

Ariza Fl\u00f3rez pointed out that there cannot be a social change without a cultural change and that the government of Gustavo Petro is in this endeavor because it pursues, in addition to improvements in people’s living conditions, the search for peace.<\/p>\n

She commented that in the South American country the war sustained by the State and armed groups for 60 years caused a fragmentation of the social fabric of Colombia as a nation.<\/p>\n

Do the arts create a basis for a culture of peace?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The actress and theater director also stressed that the construction of a culture of peace is essential to repair the damage that violence and massacres left on her land and that, for this, the knowledge of indigenous and Afro-descendant populations must be taken into account. .<\/p>\n

“We want peace to become a way of being, staying and reacting, and in this sense the Group of 77 plus China, with Cuba at the forefront, has to work to stop regional and world conflicts such as the one between Russia and Ukraine,” she insisted.<\/p>\n

Colombia, assured Ariza Fl\u00f3rez, has sufficient authority to speak of peace because it is building it.<\/p>\n

She said that through art, which she considers an exercise in freedom and also responsibility, one can contribute to eliminating stigmas, mitigating the complex climatic situation that the planet is experiencing, and recognizing the contribution of the plurality of cultures on the continent.<\/p>\n

Aliou Sow, the head of Senegalese Culture and Historical Heritage, explained that the arts can generate solutions to the problems of humanity, beyond serving as a way of denouncing.<\/p>\n

She stressed that nations must get to know each other without superficialities in order to work together, honestly and freely for the sake of sustainable development.<\/p>\n

She asserted that each culture must be considered dignified, without one prevailing over another, and all people dedicated to this sector must be involved in the fight against the problems that affect humanity. Responses and alternatives should be based on the most positive values. <\/p>\n

The XXXI International Book Fair of Havana will take place until February 19 and, later, it will be transferred to the rest of the national territory to culminate on March 19 in Santiago de Cuba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
