Interests	The World Summit for Peace is proposed in two dimensions: One-The global dimension: It is crucial to lead a cultural process from Bogotá, Colombia and the Andean Region which is comprised of basic values such as non-violence and pacifism. From this viewpoint, Bogotá will be converted into a stage from which a worldwide peace process will be constructed, promoted and lead within a global context. Moreover, the global dimension to the Summit will further permit the world community to be informed about the particular dimensions of the Colombian armed conflict. Two-The local dimension: this proposed process looks to foster spaces for dialogue about the Colombian conflict and to develop strategies with the help from all international participants in order to search for a solution to the Colombian Armed Conflict. Furthermore, we look to provoke a collective reflection through an ample process of participation which will permit us to create the atmosphere for a solution and a post conflict strategy.
Favorite movies	Discovering a pacifist society; If we had to do a minute of silence by each one of the deads that had been produced by the violence during this year in colombia, we should be in silence for several hours. If we thought about annual deads, it would be thirty thousand minutes of silence. The decade would force us to be quiet up but 300.000 minutes. By them we would have to remain dumb during 208 days. It is very possible that this is what the violent ones want. As “doctors without borders” in the acceptance of the nobel prize said: "we are not sure that the words save lives, but we are sure that silence can kill".
