Colombia faces the challenge of having to create vehicles for social and cultural transformation in order to facilitate peace within its borders, and is therefore necessary for all civil population to participate during this process. The aim of this study was to identify the understandings that children from upper social classes and from lower social classes in Bogota have of the armed conflict in Colombia, of forgiveness, of the reconciliation process and of peace scenarios. The research was done from a qualitative perspective employing the Founded Theory as analysis method. There were 63 participants, from which 34 belonged to upper classes (12 women and 22 men) and 29 to lower classes (13 women and 16 men). Four categories emerged after the analysis of the participants narratives: Colombian armed conflict, meanings of forgiveness, meanings of reconciliation, and peace scenarios. Among the primary findings encountered, various opinions suggest that war is a manifestation of violence and conflict over a given disagreement. Forgiveness is considered an exchange of negative feelings for positive ones, such as the possibility of dialogue and the creation of new opportunities for the aggressor, or as a mechanism to forget. In turn, reconciliation is understood as a process of acceptance and reinitiation of relationships in which both the aggressor and the victim play a role. Finally, it was found that peace agreements implied tolerance to different points of view and absence of violence.
