The violence experienced by children and adolescents in their living space, which is both seen as natural and invisible, impacts the way in which they relate to their peers, their families and other intergenerational relationships. In order to analyze the role of secondary school in the social appropriation of the neighborhood in which they live and thereby strengthen a culture of peace, a participatory diagnosis was carried out with adolescents on violence in the social-spatial environment. The investigative process was based on ethnography and the participatory-action-research based on the design of social cartographies. One hundred and twenty-four adolescents from a public secondary school in the city of Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico participated. The participants identified the school as a key space for coexistence and likewise, options were visualized to promote education for peace from the school curriculum and daily life in the classroom.

Keywords : Violence; Socio-spatial relationship; Cartography; Adolescence; Care; Education for peace.
