After more than five decades of conflict, Colombia is in the process of implementing a historic peace accord, signed in 2016, which is seeing former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) combatants reintegrated through institutions and programs geared towards peace and reconciliation. However, the peace process has been hampered by budget cuts and social discontent. New illegal armed groups have taken control of former FARC territories, and for many rural communities whose lives have been affected over generations by war and overlapping forms of violence, peace is still far from being a daily reality. There has been a steady increase in threats and deadly attacks on local actors involved in peace and reconciliation processes, and the peace agreement has yet to translate into any significant material transformations for local communities.<\/p>\n

Everyday Peace Indicators (EPI)<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/span> is a peacebuilding non-governmental organisation (NGO) that works with communities to generate their own indicators of complex ideas and concepts related to peace. Communities emerging from conflict work with EPI<\/em> researchers through focus groups and use a number of participatory methods to identify the locally rooted signs and indicators of peace that are important to them, thus building meaning from the bottom up. Their indicators are used to inform peacebuilding policy and programming and transformed into surveys to monitor change and the impacts of peacebuilding interventions. In Colombia, EPI<\/em> decided to integrate photovoice with their everyday peace indicators methods in order to create opportunities for community-level dialogue around the everyday peace indicators and to amplify community voices by making their peace indicators visible through images and more communicable to policy audiences.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Peace Indicator: There are collective work groups among members of the community<\/strong>
\u2019You need one hand to wash the other, and both to wash the face,\u201d is a saying that grandparents say. That\u2019s what a minga is. When people don\u2019t have the money to pay day labourers, they ask others to help them, and then the favour is repaid. In this way, a lot of farms and businesses have been saved from bankruptcy. A minga, or collective work group, saves lives and land and protects democracy, justice, and peace. Mingas are resistance.<\/h5>\n

Between 2020 and 2023, EPI<\/em> projects were undertaken in 6 rural communities in Antioquia, Cauca, and Sumapaz. Responding to an open call in each village, participants engaged in five to six weeks of photovoice workshops. They selected individual and collective everyday peace indicators from the lists generated by their communities and made photo stories about their chosen indicators. The workshops culminated in exhibitions, which saw their images hung on walls and buildings all over their villages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Evaluative research in the first two communities established that the photovoice process, which was designed to enhance existing community peacebuilding, amplified community peace by facilitating healing, enabling intergenerational dialogue, rebuilding territorial pride and identity, and catalysing community peacebuilding actions. While working in sensitive environments meant that the community photographers were limited in what they could capture in images, their photographs bring visibility to the specific stories and elements that are important to peace in their communities. Their images, which can travel easily whilst community members cannot, bring the voices of conflict-affected communities before national and international audiences.<\/p>\n

Peace Indicator: People with talents in the community have opportunities to leave the municipality to show their abilities<\/strong>.
In the municipality of Buenos Aires, there are many young people who have hidden talents. I mean that they have no opportunities to demonstrate their artistic abilities. The art of children, adolescents, and young people must be prioritized. They are seeds that have to be sown in order to harvest a good future.

Peace Indicator: Ex-guerrillas build families<\/strong>
She wanted to be a sister-in-law and a daughter of whoever, and she went by an alias. Being there, she lived in horror; she came to know great pain. She was wounded in combat, and her heart was also wounded, because of course she couldn\u2019t free herself from love. Now she carries real love with her\u2014pure and sincere love, a love for life.
