Communities in Sucre work to welcome returned families and recover their social network
“Tejiendonos” strategy of the Victims Unit includes a module on building a sense of community, territorial roots, and management scenarios.
In order to carry out actions to strengthen the social network and the generation of bonds of trust between the communities victims of forced displacement and the host communities, within the framework of the return, relocation and local integration processes of Sincelejo, the Unit carried out the fourth meeting with communities under the psychosocial strategy “Tejiendonos”.
At the fourth meeting “Tejiendonos” addressed the construction of a sense of community, territorial roots and management scenarios. In this training space with the community of Rancho Rojo, El Cielo, and Chalán (Sucre), the survivors carried out different activities such as "Our territory", in which they drew on the map or sketch each of the places where they live, the main productive activities and institutions present.
The purpose of the day was also to generate a space for the recognition of the territory by the community and they reflected on its meanings. The second activity was "Newscast: the rights of my community", through which, in groups, they creatively represented a newscast in which they showed what meaning the right that corresponded to them has, which entities, institutions and / or programs respond to this Right and the way to access them. The rights represented were: health, education, decent housing, family reunification and work / access routes.
For the director of the Unit in Sucre, Isaac Hernández, the entity's commitment is constant. He indicated that, “as a Unit, they are also committed from the psychosocial area to the integral reparation of the victims, in such a way that this strategy is fundamental in the process, since it allows displaced returned families to assume the empowerment to defend their rights”.
In the development of the activities, the victims represented the meaning of the rights to health, education, decent housing, family reunification and work.
