ESPACIOS DE CONFLUENCIA ESTUDIANTIL POR EL REFERENDO


Not everyone believes in the momentum and strength of young people. We conceive of youth as a state and not as a stage. Youth is a natural state of human beings in which the feelings, ideas, questions address what happens in the world, visions, the search for identity and the many smiles they give us enough energy to emerge land to transform society. This force gives the youth, and is now bathed in the water, awake feelings and smiles, gives us cause us concern and action.

Thus, at this juncture, the referendum on water provides an opportunity to unite young people in one confluence university no matter what the political nuances or different social and cultural expressions that are expressed within the university community. We

manages the commitment and responsibility with the people they do not reach this resource, or those with access to water but of poor quality, or those that identify with their culture is essential for these ecosystems hydrological cycle and feel part of them, but also to learn other ways of approaching the water from other worldviews, from the sense that water is sacred to all cultures and peoples of the world. That is, from other ways of seeing the world.
This confluence, which brings different students public and private universities [1] is the expression of an effort in each of these scenarios to generate a culture of water, a pedagogy, a militant with life. This convergence has made signature collection days have been supported with cultural events, storytelling contests, water festivals, forums, talks, among other activities, which seek to bring a commitment by the entire Colombian youth declaring custodian water.
Water for Life, has made us question and question and others on other government policies that privatize and commodify water and lands on the importance of minimum free life and the positive impact that would, in a country where children die of gastrointestinal diseases or other diseases that could be prevented with good health, where water is essential. In the debates generated within this confluence we considered the construction of the territory on the basis of language and speech.

In this sense, we must understand the nature conservation, taking into account cultural diversity, the Sierra Nevada and other sacred territories, as the center of life for indigenous people that live in and not a drain potential of pure water crystal for irrigation of palm oil and the oil industry. Forms relate to the territory feeling part of nature makes the human development is understood from his own conception as humans. Communicating with other beings that inhabit the earth converge as water and through the floor.

The convergence of university students and technical training centers in Bogota as the Seine and the Central Technical Institute La Salle, ITC, also is taking place in other cities in Colombia, and Bucaramanga, Manizales, Popayán, Barranquilla. Through them, young people have demonstrated their capacity to engage with the protection of water, to date, students have collected about 12 thousand signatures. Last week in a single day's journey, the Javerianos achieved a little more than 1 000 signatures on the UIS in University Week [2] exceeded 4.5 thousand signatures and storytelling week surpassed the 1 000, and students of the Institute Central Technical and La Salle have reported 1,500 firms, in Manizales, young articulate the Observatory of Environmental Conflicts, OCA has achieved more than 2 000 signatures, ESAP students expect in the coming days to deliver its first thousand signatures, and so every day are more and more activities to do to grow the engagement and youth activism in Colombia with the referendum for water and generally with the struggles in defense of water front its many threats. We hope that this commitment across borders university and be immersed in the social dynamics that also support this initiative. Achieving

transmit to another or the other, the need to preserve this precious treasure, a change in our own imagination that conceived as a resource, we can construct a comprehensive view of life.

invite all the young people committed to defending life in all its manifestations to join this confluence that beyond the current situation and the important efforts made for the referendum on water be victorious, advocates by the redefinition of the relationship between academia and society between the different languages \u200b\u200bthat allow setting up a partnership with environmental justice, in which the voices of young people and marking the route to continue fighting for our just demands, which in turn are the same as all those who build new territories existential and with them and them a new sense of country, free and in motion, like water.
