At the Compaz Foundation, we believe that individuals have the ability to transform their communities through conscious leadership, the strengthening of peace-building skills and the exchange of knowledge. Diana, Nevis and Lali are young people who, despite the circumstances, have managed to move forward and set an example of reconciliation and teamwork. In addition, they have developed innovative ideas that promote peace-building in their territories through dancing, entrepreneurship and communications.

All three #CompazLeaders attended the One Young World Annual Summit 2021 that took place in Munich, Germany from July 22nd to 25th. In this event they had the opportunity to meet young leaders from all over the world, exchange experiences in peace-building, share their life stories and community processes, come up with innovative actions to address climate change and, above all, to show the vision of young people in Colombia to transform our country.

On the last day of the Summit, the #CompazLeaders shared a plenary session with our founder, Juan Manuel Santos, called “The future of Colombia’s peace is in the hands of young people”; their participation reaffirmed something that we have always known at Compaz: the people are the greatest asset for peace-building in Colombia.
