It's never too late to foster peace. Peacebuilding can take place at any stage: before, during, or after a conflict. There's never a time when we can say that fostering peace is impossible. We can start today. Let’s begin with our families and extend our efforts to our communities and nation. Peace is achievable. #Peacebuilding #Conflictresolution United Nations

In our communities, everyday spaces, and in our work as peacebuilders, we encounter diverse and different views and perspectives. Being able to engage in open and respectful dialogue is an important tool at every level: political, societal and personal. As we work to change our communities and improve their overall well-being, it is through dialogue that we share information, find common ground and resolve conflicts. When people from different backgrounds come together to share their stories and perspectives, it humanizes them, and the issues at hand. Before true and meaningful community change can occur, before we can ever get to plans that outline problems and root causes, and present real, tangible solutions and outcomes, dialogue has to lay the groundwork, and form an important part of the entire process. #defyhatenow #hatefreecommunities

Peace and Justice Peace is not a byproduct of justice, but a purpose in itself.

By harnessing the power of justice and other systems, we can build a culture of peace that fosters community cohesion, inclusivity, and sustainable development. #CreatingACultureofPeace
