%X From the perspective of Cultural Psychology, the study proposed to understand the meanings assigned tothe experience of forced displacement, by eight people, men and women, as well as the current conditionsassociated to the construction of psychosocial relationships that are builders of Peace Cultures in the Corporationfor Education, Development and Peace (Cedepaz). It is a qualitative study that applied the method oforal story, through interviews that allowed to recover the collective memory. The results were organized intwo matrixes of analysis: the first one addresses the meanings around the Cedepaz¡äs story, and the secondone alludes to the meanings constructed from the experience of forced displacement. It was concluded thatthe phenomenon of forced displacement is a violent action with repercussions not only in the political,economical and social levels, but also in the psychosocial level, generating individual and collective consequencesin the civilian population. Among these, the rupture of the social and familiar tissue, the loss ofidentity, the change of the roles, and somatizations, among others, were identified. People in situation ofdisplacement interviewed are social actors, capable of creating communitary organizations directed towardsthe construction of better conditions of life, thus seeding Peace Cultures in the midst of war.
