Descripción
The presentation will show the results of a participatory Action Research that aimed to support the training of rural youth for community leadership and, in turn, to know the configurations of their political subjectivities from that training. The proposal, designed with young people and other members of the community such as leaders and teachers, seeks to guarantee the generational renewal of the process of civil resistance and peacebuilding in Micoahumado (south of the department of Bolívar in Colombia), a town historically affected by the prolonged armed conflict in Colombia. The young participants displayed five tensions that reveal the great challenges of their role as leaders: 1) between progress and peasant way of life; 2) between personal and collective projects;3) between legitimacy and legality; 4) between the desire for peace and the fear of being without guerrilla authority; 5) between agriculture and environmental protection.Additionally, these show the continuities and ruptures with the positions of their elders. A brief historical and social context will be given; the methodology used (constructed with the young people) will be described and the results of the work carried out will be discussed in more detail. Finally, it will be shown that the subjectivation of the participants is an expression of "political subjectivity for life", a concept built with this community in previous works.
