Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community- COMECE
The armed conflict in Colombia has persisted for more than 50 years. The result is: 260.000 people killed and 8 Mio. victims, most of them civilians. Moreover, many children have been forcibly recruited as soldiers and suffered serious physical and psychological harm. The Salesians of Don Bosco are helping them to re-integrate into society. They would like to share this example of good practice of placing the human persons at the very centre and allowing them to become builders of peace in the Colombian society.
Speakers:Fr Rafael Bejarano sdb, Director de Ciudad Don Bosco (CBD) en Medellín
José Antonio Sanmartín, Director of Misiones Salesianas
