ABSTRACT
Just like violent conflicts have found fertile land in Colombia to develop and be sustained for at least the last 70 years, the peacebuilding practices that we illustrate in this book have also found ways to be sustained in history. In this chapter, we offer our understanding of the ways youth-led and community leaders’ peacebuilding initiatives have been maintained overtime, while problematizing the way sustainability is conceived in international non-governmental organizations, some sectors of academia, and national and local governments, to name the most common examples. There are different ways of framing sustainability and we try to address these different ways through the stories we share.
