description This article analyzes the impact the National Program for Peace Education and the Magdalena Centro Peace Development Program had on the target population during the period 2021-2022. The research technique is qualitative, based on documentary analysis, and analysis of categories such as population served, projects developed, tools used, resources and budget execution among others. It was found that peace education programs have a high impact on the processes of transformation of realities and the creation of environments where peaceful conflict resolution prevails. The recommendations for future peace education programs include prioritizing strategic alliances, integrating families into learning processes, taking advantage of ICTs, adapting peace education processes to the dynamics of the environment, and creating educational material for teachers and parents.
