Social conflict and war – and the collective trauma they leave in their wake – are a daily reality for too many people around the world. Young peacebuilders living in such settings often lack support, both in terms of looking inward to address their own challenges and looking outward to collectively lead peacebuilding dialogues, initiatives, and networks.
This program seeks to make a meaningful contribution to supporting our diverse, young champions for peace. It seeks to help participants identify pathways for working toward greater peace in themselves, while enhancing their work for peace in their communities.
They are connectors and facilitators, organizers and educators, each working at the intersection of their own healing and their communities’ futures. What brought them together was not a shared context, but a shared recognition: that peacebuilding requires tending to both the inner landscape and the outer work, that transformation is relational, and that the distances between us – whether caused by war, inequality, or fragmentation – demand new practices of dialogue, collaboration, and care.
