At the exhibition you hear young people’s own stories and experiences of violence: as victim, perpetrator, witness, helper or kin. The stories are sometimes very personally told by those involved in the events.
It is clear that young people are less inclined to report crimes and testify about violent events. The police have a widespread image of not investigating events. Is it really deserved? What is the truth? What is the responsibility and role of society, police, school and parents? These are some issues raised in the exhibition.
One side event to the exhibition was a three-hour Respect Marathon at which individuals and organisations gave their views about what "respect" means to them. Civis was one of the participants in the event, and gave a presentation based on the voices and declarations of conscientious objectors in Colombia and their right to refuse to engage in the armed conflict.
