Over the last few weeks, Conducive Space for Peace and Peace Direct have conducted a series of online consultations to get input from peacebuilders around the world on the implications of the Corona crisis on their lives, organisations and peacebuilding efforts. During these consultations, the participants expressed the need to create a platform for sharing, learning, innovating among local peacebuilders and connecting local peacebuilders with international actors. That is why we are very excited to announce that we have created an online platform with the aim of making trans-local connections with peacebuilders all around the world.
This online community will be built and shaped by and for local peacebuilders in a co-creation process, but will be open for civil society actors, donors, researchers, think tanks, multilateral organizations and more to join in on the conversation as well. It will offer exclusive content, thematic discussions, opportunities to expand your network, and both online and real-life events. You can connect with people from your region, with someone working in the same field as you or start conversations across these categories. As the momentum for action is harnessed in our discussions, we can jointly take action to support local peacebuilders responding to COVID-19.
The platform is open for all to join but requires an invitation. If you have an interest in engaging in these conversations or know local peacebuilders who may benefit from this, please contact Christian Cito Cirhigiri at christian@conducivespace.org, and he will invite you to the platform. Our hope is that for each story, experience or idea shared, we will build a knowledge base that every member of this community can tap into. We are looking forward to continuing this conversation on our platform!
Yes our noble youth organiztion is a local peacebuilder responding to covid 19virus
i suggest that this platform leaves no one behind in global regional level to still raise the awareness and to sensitize rural community people. Here Sierra Leone rural people must be sensitize about covid 19virus
Dear cito,
Hello, I hope you staying safe.
I would like to let you know that I was invited by Saji Prelis to join this great platform.
Therefore, I am writing to acknowledge the interest of joining.
Thank you for this initiative! You have been so swift to create space for peace builders in respondig to COVID 19.
Just wondering how this will be approached with lock downs.
I work for the Liberia Peace-building Office in Liberia and i was tipped to join by a former colleague at UNDP, and i think the platform is a good initiative. Here in Liberia, we are implementing an early and early response platform at district and county levels where early warning and early response volunteers, collect and report conflict triggers and violent tendencies in real time.
l would like to join this platform, on peacebuilding
