Abstract

This research article aims to make visible the conflict transformation initiatives driven by people in the process of reintegration. For this purpose, the former Territorial Training and Reintegration Area (ETCR) currently known as Vereda Tierra Grata, municipality of Manaure, Cesar, is taken into context. The research was developed from a qualitative approach, using an ethnographic design that allowed direct contact with the community and the application of semi-structured interviews. This methodological approach facilitated the understanding of the various strategies for transforming the conflict and strengthening the social tissue. Among them, territorialization and community rootedness stand out, which have contributed significantly to the process of reincorporation of the 162 signatories of the agreement that came to Tierra Grata. These initiatives represent a hopeful example within the complex Colombian post-conflict landscape.
