Esta publicación es en verdad
especial...
Tengo un poco más de 30
años y para mí la NAVIDAD
ha ido cambiando de matices;
desde los más brillantes y
profundos, hasta los más nos-
tálgicos y efímeros. En navi-
dad recordamos con mucha
devoción el nacimiento de
Jesús, y junto al árbol o al
pesebre y en el dulce calor de
la familia podemos disfrutar
de momentos que perduran
en el alma, en la mente y en
el corazón, siendo esto ga-
nancia para nuestras vidas y
convirtiéndose en matices que
brillan en el tiempo.
Sean pérdidas o ganancias,
matices brillantes o no tanto,
lo que realmente importa es
nuestra fe y esperanza, pues
sólo con estos dones podre-
mos encontrar el verdadero
sentido que tiene la NAVI-
DAD.
Otro motivo que convierte
esta edición en una publica-
ción muy especial, es la parti-
cipación de algunos estudian-
tes de los grados noveno a
once que bajo la orientación
de la docente Liliana Zuluaga
han escrito en inglés sobre
diversos temas realmente
importantes e inspiradores
para nuestras vidas, familia y
sociedad.
En esta edición número 4, El
estudiante Gabriel David
Ospina nos comparte su ar-
tículo “Peace Culture =
Peaceful individuals”. Es-
pero disfruten cada una de
sus líneas y queden atentos
de quién será el próximo estu-
diante que en Enero nos de-
leitará con sus palabras escri-
tas. (Ver páginas 2 y 4)

The results of the plebiscite and the
current attempts to reform a new
peace agreement is in trend within
Colombian people. Despite the differ-
ences of opinions between the “yes”
and “no”, we all seek the achieve-
ment of peace. It is up to us to unify
as people, overcome our disagree-
ments and start living according to
our goals, to adopt a peace culture.
What is peace culture?
Peace culture is an educational pro-
ject with the objective of teaching
students a non-violent alternative to
solve conflicts, acquiring a healthy
environment. But in order to teach
and to make sure most of the stu-
dents are going to use these culture
(because you can´t force anyone to
make use of it), we must learn what
peace is exactly and what it impli-
cates.
Peace has three basic components:
Peace Culture = Peaceful individuals

You may think that the components
contradict themselves, or it might be
confusing but if we start using them
we will start noticing results for creat-
ing a non-violent environment and
evidence that they are cohesive with
each other.
How can one person contribute to
a peaceful community?
A lot of people have the dream to
change the world. We think that we
should seek to change ourselves. Is
way easier and less time consuming.
Besides, that is actually the way to
change the world, one person at the
time. The thing is that the only one
that is able to change people’s minds
is ourselves.
If we perceive something valuable,
we are motivated to pursue it. What
we are trying to do is to motivate peo-
ple by showing them the importance
of being accepted and treated as hu-
man being. That is why we said “most
of students” and “can’t force” at the
beginning, because is unfair to force
someone to do something they don’t
want to do, even if what we want
them to do is for the greater and their
own good.

The definition of harmony can be
found if you see it from the musical
perspective. Harmony in a song or
musical piece can be found when two
or more notes are played at the same
time, even if those notes are played
by different instruments. Applying this
concept, lets change the word “notes”
with personalities and the word
“instruments” with people. Harmony
means that several people are able to
coexist in the same community and
that despite having personality con-
trasts, they are able to build a solid
relationship.
Justice is necessary to live in a
peaceful community because part of
peace is the protection of rights. Hu-
man rights were made so people
have a legal way to say that they are
as human as his fellow. The violation
of human rights indicates that there
are people that think other humans
deserve less than them. That is a
form of degradation and humiliation.
In this cases, peace depends on ex-
ternal factors (for the victims).
Respect is a very important compo-
nent, not only for everybody’s peace,
but also for your own. Respect is one
that takes a lot of effort, because it is
about differentiation. Unlike harmony,
is not only about combining the dis-
tinctive features of each individual,
but understanding that they have in-
dependent interests and that they do
not have to be exactly like you emo-
tionally. However, the hardest part is
to respect people that are not re-
spectful.

We have been saying that peace
culture is in favor of your own bene-
fit because most of the times, you
are the one who is not contributing
to your own peace. People get stuck
on the situation outside, but there is
a phrase that says “if there is a situ-
ation that is uncomfortable, change
it. If you can´t change it, change
yourself”. Don´t let the pride get in
the way of solving a situation such
as who has to forgive who. If you
find your tranquility more important
than your pride, then take a step
towards it.
People tend to think that justice is if
you commit a crime, you should be
punished according to the serious-
ness of the crime (in other words,
“an eye for an eye”). However,
there is an universal rule: “Do to
others as you want them to do to
you”. It is related to the justice
component of peace, since when
people’s rights are being vulnerat-
ed, what is correct is to defend
them, because you would want
someone to defend you too.
Nevertheless, we need to respect
the others who are not respectful.
They chose to be that way and they
might not change their mind. But that
doesn’t stop the willing to defend
those who are week. The best way
for defending those who are being
vulnerated, is to teach them to de-
fend themselves
