Today's Grand Report looks at the plight of child soldiers in Colombia.
As you know, the country emerged from a war of more than 50 years, in 2016, with the signing of peace agreements between the Colombian government and the ex-FARC, the Revolutionary Forces of Colombia.
These agreements include the reintegration process for adult and minor ex-combatants.
What have they become ?
How is the reintegration into civilian life going?
In the city of Cali and Medellin, two reception centers are dedicated to former child soldiers.
Art is used there as a reintegration tool.
