Somos una organización social creada en 1994 por un grupo de mujeres profesionales y líderes comunitarias de diferentes zonas del país que vivimos la violencia socio política. Contribuimos a transformar el impacto de la violencia en la vida de niños, niñas, jóvenes, familias y comunidades que afrontan la situación de desplazamiento forzado, la desaparición forzada y el involucramiento al conflicto
armado. La apuesta por la dignidad humana desde un marco de acción psicosocial y de derechos ha orientado nuestro trabajo y fundamenta el desarrollo de una metodología innovadora desde el enfoque sistémico, los postulados de la resiliencia y las artes expresivas. Creamos y desarrollamos programas y proyectos psicosociales que promuevan el desarrollo de recursos personales, comunitarios y sociales, de quienes han sido o están en riesgo de ser afectados por la violencia sociopolítica.

In 1994, group of professional and com- munity leading women who were af- fected by the socio-political violence in different areas of the Colombia, through their work and the creation of The Cent- er for Development and Psychosocial consulting—Taller de Vida, they decided to support the transformation of the lives of children, young people, woman, fami- lies, and communities effected by forced displacement, disappearances and re- cruitment from the conflict in Colombia. Since then Taller de Vida have fought for human dignity through a systemic, alter- native and human rights, resilience and artistic expression framework. This guideline has led us to propose new methodologies and working with nation- al institutions and international organi- zations in the design, implementation, monitoring and sharing psychosocial intervention and processes of education for peace with national institutions and international organizations. We work with Children, youth people, women, families and communities who have lived differ- ent facts of socio-political violence in Colombia. In addition we are professionals and facilitators to succeed in implementing the methodology we have developed.
