This research article is based on a study whose objective was to analyze the stories of eighth and tenth grade students from public and private schools about the Colombian armed conflict from the perspective of social memories. The most negative actors, the most remembered events and the victims of this recent past were investigated. For this, closed questionnaires, story production and virtual interviews were used. Among the main conclusions is the prevalence of the idea of the relevance given to the guerrilla as a harmful actor, the Bogotazo as the triggering event of the long armed conflict and solidarity with the victims, mainly peasants, as the sentiment most evoked. Additionally, it is considered that the views on the conflict that young people express are social constructions crossed by battles of memory, where hegemonic and alternative versions seek to impose legitimacy on what happened.
