Tipologia textual y objetivo. This article develops a reflexive theoretical exercise originated in the line of Democracy and Citizenship, belonging to the Human Development Research group of the Department of Humanities of the Santo Tomas University of Bucaramanga, recognized by Colciencias in category B. Located in Latin America and in the unique Colombian reality, it aims to develop a theoretical horizon that contributes to enrich the epistemic referents that think the emerging citizenships that now suppose the new ways of being and being in society.Methodology. Two components are addressed: first, an invitation to look at the phenomenon of violence, beyond the horror generated by armed groups from an approach that favors a hopeful look. And, on the other hand, the urgent need to recognize the new citizenships to involve them in work for a culture of peace, a culture of nonviolence, to return the hope of thinking to a society where we can live together, respecting and defending life.Results. This theoretical reflection is not conclusive because, as educators, we understand the commitment and the need to help people to think actions and options for the Colombian post conflict; for this reason, from a pedagogy for peace, the need to consider the complexity and multifaceted manifestations of the human condition in the dynamics of the new social roles is recognized.
