ReGeneración

What ReGeneración does

ReGeneración is a US-domiciled nonprofit peace-building initiative founded by attorney and organizer Camilo Romero, focused on healing intergenerational trauma through story-healing (sana-cuentos), sociodrama, and popular education methodologies. Its portfolio comprises seven interconnected programs: the ¿Pazcual? children's book series, the ¿Cuál es tu Paz? interactive sociodrama workshops (delivered globally in English and Spanish), the Las Poderosas community mural project (anchored in Costa Mesa, California with a growing network of replica murals), the Heart-Storm Curriculum (a participatory peace-building curriculum for schools), the annual Celebración Poderosa (honoring Latina trailblazers including Judge Frances Muñoz), Guías Electorales (voter guides for youth civic engagement), and the Cuerpo + Espíritu somatic connection campaign. The organization was born from the Colombian post-conflict experience and has expanded to serve communities in the United States, Europe, Costa Rica, and New Zealand dealing with trauma from conflict, pandemics, and civic disengagement.

The underlying technology is intentionally non-digital: rather than a software platform, ReGeneración operates through participatory human methodologies, public art, children's literature, and community gatherings. Distribution is community-led and direct — workshops and cultural projects are delivered on-site to communities upon request, events are hosted at partner institutions such as Santa Ana College, the U.S. federal courthouse in Santa Ana, and the Orange County Department of Education, and curriculum materials are distributed through direct engagement with schools. Revenue is generated exclusively through donations and sponsorships (collected via a Fundly donation page), with no commercial pricing, no fee-for-service contracts, and no institutional funding rounds disclosed. The customer base spans at-risk youth in post-conflict regions, the Colombian diaspora, schools and educators, community organizations, and civic partners.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Peace Direct: U.K.-based nonprofit that funds and capacitates local peacebuilders across conflict zones. Analogous to ReGeneración's community-led, locally-rooted peace methodology applied in Colombia and expanding globally.
• Facing History and Ourselves: U.S. nonprofit that delivers participatory civics and human-rights curricula to K-12 schools. Strong parallel to the Heart-Storm Curriculum (Escuelas de Paz) and ReGeneración's peace-schools distribution model.
• Generations For Peace: Jordan-based peacebuilding nonprofit that trains youth leaders in conflict resolution and civic participation worldwide. Comparable to ReGeneración's at-risk youth empowerment and Heart-Storm Curriculum approach.
• Search for Common Ground: One of the world's largest dedicated peacebuilding NGOs, running dialogue and trauma-healing programs in conflict-affected communities globally. Directly comparable to ReGeneración's sana-cuentos workshops and Colombia-rooted peace methodology.

Broad incumbents

• International Crisis Group: Global think tank working to prevent wars and shape policy on conflict-affected states. Operates in many of the same geographies (Colombia, Latin America) as ReGeneración but through policy/research rather than grassroots community engagement.
• Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Education: Large U.S. civil rights organization with extensive anti-bias and classroom curricula. Comparable to ReGeneración's curricular and civic-engagement work, though far larger and primarily U.S.-focused.
• United States Institute of Peace (USIP): U.S. federal institution focused on conflict prevention and peacebuilding education, including K-12 curricula. Comparable to ReGeneración's peace-education work and partner profile (federal courthouse venues, Orange County Department of Education).

Regional players

• Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica (Colombia): Colombian state institution that documents conflict and peace narratives through oral histories and memory projects. Operates in the same Colombian post-conflict space as ReGeneración, though as a public entity.
• Caravana de Paz / Peace Caravan (Colombia): Colombian truth, memory, and reconciliation initiative using storytelling and cultural projects in post-conflict territories. Highly comparable to ReGeneración's Colombian roots and sana-cuentos methodology.

Emerging players

• StoryCorps: Mission-driven nonprofit that preserves personal and community stories as a tool for empathy and healing. Closely aligned with ReGeneración's sana-cuentos (story-healing) methodology, though operating at vastly larger scale.
