Abstract
The article presents and discusses the results of a study carried out with the “Active Youth” group, which is guided by a NGO in Soacha, Colombia. The differences and similarities among their narrated interactions regarding their daily actions in the group, in the family and in the neighborhood were studied, in contrast to their meanings of peace and by means of narrative analysis. Except for a few cases, results showed consistency between narrated interactions and meanings. Rich and diverse family interactions, with positive meanings, were found. Violence is narrated in the neighborhood context, while peace is given meaning in terms of its relationship to this violence.
