“Promote through the changing power of education, a culture of respect. We should reflect upon the dominating values and what we want to instill, and upon which we want to identify.”
Spaces of dialogue and reflection
With the objective of generating proposals to establish dialogue tables, where the panelists spoke of the following subjects:
- The insertion of principles and values in the process of training university students.
- The need to develop a Chair on Peace as the main subject for the construction of a culture of peace, promotion, and protection of human rights and its inclusion in the university system; highlighting the social responsibility of universities and institutions of Higher Education in the construction of a culture of peace in society.
At the same time, two work tables were installed where they spoke of various topics; from there, proposals that benefit the student community were made:
Table 1: “Pedagogical approach for the knowledge and practice of universal values, in the formative process.
