**International Day of Peace Contest!** In celebration of the International Day of Peace, which took place last week on September 30th, we at the *Knowledge for Peace* platform are inviting our community of local peacebuilders to participate in a contest by submitting an opinion article about the **Global Fragility Act**—a 2019 law focused on preventing conflict and promoting peace in fragile (conflict-affected and post-conflict) states by addressing the root causes of instability through coordinated efforts involving diplomacy, development, and local partnerships. The article should be an opinion piece that reflects the writer’s perspective on the state of the peacebuilding sector before and after the act's enactment, offering personal views on both its advantages and drawbacks. **Word Count**: Approximately 500 words   **Submission Deadline**: Open until October 15th. for any questions, feel free to ask me. #PeaceDay #GlobalFragilityAct #Peacebuilding #KnowledgeForPeace #InternationalDayofPeace #YouthForPeace

🕊️ Embrace Peaceful Conflict Resolution 🕊️ "Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means." Wise words from Ronald Reagan that resonate deeply. Conflict is a natural part of life, but it's how we navigate it that truly defines us. Let's strive to cultivate the skills of peaceful conflict resolution, fostering understanding and harmony in our relationships and communities. 🤝💬 As we embrace peaceful means to handle conflicts, we pave the way for genuine peace to flourish. Let's choose dialogue over discord, empathy over hostility, and cooperation over confrontation. 💜  #PeacefulResolution #ConflictResolution #Peace

🌍 The Power of Peacebuilding in a Divided World 🌍 In a world marked by conflict and division, peacebuilding is not just an ideal—it’s a necessity. It’s about more than just stopping violence; it's about fostering understanding, resolving disputes, and building bridges between individuals and communities. At its core, peacebuilding begins with listening. It requires us to step out of our own perspectives and understand the needs, pain, and aspirations of others. From the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) teachings, we learn that justice, empathy, and reconciliation are the foundations of lasting peace. Whether it's in families, communities, or between nations, peace isn't something we wait for—it’s something we actively create. What can we do? - Dialogue over debate. - Compassion over judgment. - Mediation over conflict. When we embrace these values, we don’t just resolve conflicts—we build a foundation for harmony that can last generations. What steps are you taking in your personal or professional life to promote peace and understanding? Let's share and inspire each other! 💬 #Peacebuilding #ConflictResolution #Mediation #Empathy #Leadership #IslamicValues #Unity #Collaboration #GlobalHarmony

In the face of the Israel-Iran conflict, we find ourselves at a crucial crossroads that extends beyond mere politics, urging us to engage in meaningful dialogue and cultivate understanding, echoing the timeless biblical principles of peace and reconciliation. As tensions escalate, it is essential to focus on our common values rather than our differences. Let us seek divine wisdom and open our hearts to the call for harmony, striving to navigate these challenging waters with compassion and respect for every tradition involved. Now, more than ever, we must prioritize the pursuit of peace over division, fostering a spirit of reconciliation in this pivotal time. Together, we can build bridges of understanding and create a brighter future for all.

"On this International Day of Peace, let's come together to cultivate harmony, understanding, and compassion in our hearts and communities. May we strive for a world where peace reigns, disagreements are resolved through dialogue, and kindness prevails over conflict. How will you spread peace today and beyond? Share your peace-promoting actions and join the global movement for unity and tranquility. #InternationalDayOfPeace #HarmonyInHumanity #SpreadLoveNotHate”

The flow of information and propensity for curiosity are crucial in shaping our social and personal relationships. I have been considering how this relates to peace, and I want to  explore how I think this flow can lead us down two vastly different paths: The Path to Peace Information → Understanding  Understanding → Tolerance  Tolerance → Peace When we seek out and share information, we gain understanding. This understanding fosters tolerance for different perspectives and ways of life.  Tolerance ultimately paves the way for peaceful coexistence. The Path to Conflict Isolation → Misunderstanding  Misunderstanding → Friction  Friction → Conflict  Conflict → War Conversely, when we isolate ourselves or limit our exposure to diverse information, misunderstandings arise. These misunderstandings create friction among individuals and groups that can escalate into conflict and, in worst-case scenarios, war. The choice is ours.  By actively seeking information, promoting understanding, and cultivating tolerance, we can all contribute to a more peaceful world. What steps are you taking to broaden your understanding today? #Peace #Understanding #GlobalCommunity #Tolerance 

Marcel Arsenault, President of PAX sapiens, shares his insights on the link between the flow of information and the promotion of peace. His perspective highlights how transparent, open communication can foster understanding and reduce conflict. "By actively seeking information, promoting understanding, and cultivating tolerance, we can all contribute to a more peaceful world. " Ultimately, the pathway toward a peaceful world requires commitment, resilience, cooperation, and long-term vision. While these steps are just a starting point, each one offers a way to contribute to building a more peaceful world. Are there any steps or actions you would add to the list? #peace #longterm #peaceandsecurity

When observed closely, our logo would appear to be dandelions that look like the letters CPP which stand for the Centre for Peace Praxis. It would make one curious about why something as fragile as dandelions would be used for the logo, and rightfully so. Peace has forever been very fragile, and history has hardly seen peace as sustainable. However, many are unaware that despite seeming fragile, dandelions symbolize hope, healing and resilience. We, at the Centre for Peace Praxis, aim to bring about change in the outlook of individual when faced with conflict. #peace #centreforpeace #peacebuilding #christuniversity #centreforpeacepraxis

My latest article, "Concluding Conflict: Why Ending War is Never an Easy Strategy," examines why it is increasingly harder to end the growing number of conflicts the United States finds ourselves part of. The article examines how these impediments do not just occur once a conflict begins but are heavily influenced by actions or in actions left of bang. Central to my argument is the importance of defining objectives early and reassess them continually. https://lnkd.in/erZGNw5r As always I am happy to discuss or debate any points or positions of anything I publicly publish. #stratergy #warandpeace #theoryofvictory #victorydisease
