Based on the premise that education can support peacebuilding and contribute to the non-repetition of violence, this Policy Brief discusses the experiences of political education in Germany and the educational policies around the Peace Chair in Colombia, in the context of the Final Agreement for the Termination of the Conflict and the Construction of a Stable and Lasting Peace. The text points out the relevance of political education for peacebuilding and proposes a debate around German experiences as an inspiration for the debates in Colombia. In this sense, it points out the potential of taking: 1) fundamental and human rights as basic principles of political education; 2) the Beutelsbach Consensus as a basic standard for political education; and 3) interdisciplinarity as a fundamental tool. Furthermore, it discusses practical challenges in establishing quality political education and presents recommendations for improving this pedagogical alternative and the practice of the Peace Chair in the country.
