Methodologically it is developed through the collection of stories, testimonies, narratives and artistic co-creation, in two workshops held in Paipa and Bogotá in 2019, to make the voices of the victims visible. As a result, the participants report victimizing events that occurred in the period 1984-2018, describes armed actors, places of conflict and interest. In the field of pedagogy's memory the following stand out: the memory wall, the Memento play and the Performance Mnemosine. As a result of artistic co-creation work, the Traveling Exhibition allowed the exhibition of artistic products made by the participants, socialized with students and the community in general, by showing evidence of the armed conflict in Boyacá. Thus, the pedagogy of memory, with its multiplicity of resources, offers an epistemic alternative that allows recognizing the voices of victims, making visible the impacts of victimizing acts, the diversity of memory activities against forgetting, which the participants carry out, by creating the opportunity to seek processes of participation and coexistence necessary for an education for peace.
