Research Portafolio
The group is capable of designing and carrying out formal and non-formal academic education training proposals, as well as consultancy and advising related to journalism, particularly in terms of armed conflict memory and working with victims. We have offered the Historical Memory and Memory Narratives certification program for five years. We have also provided advice regarding armed conflict memory matters for alternative and community media and victim organizations. In addition, we have trained such groups on producing journalistic stories that all allow to understand the conflict’s dynamics and its consequences on the territories.
