Re-Imagining New Communities’ Post

At Peace Shapers, we do something truly unique. Often, people don’t realize just how important it is to equip children with peacebuilding skills until we show them. This training isn't just a nice addition; it's essential for preparing them to face the future as socially responsible, compassionate citizens. The lack of funding in this area highlights the problem. It’s not that people don’t care, but because we’re not physically rebuilding schools, our work isn’t as visible. When you can't see the changes, it can seem less urgent or worthy of investment. But who doesn’t know that behavioral changes take time?🤷🏾♀️ This is exactly why we’re facing the challenges we are today. By neglecting to teach the values that shape kindness, responsibility, and empathy, we’re shaping a generation that’s focused more on external success than on becoming well-rounded, moral individuals. Investing in the internal development of children is just as important as any physical infrastructure, because it’s the foundation for a better, more peaceful society. No matter how slow the progress, we’ll keep moving forward! One day, we’ll look back and see the lives we've impacted, and that’s what will truly matter. #ThePeaceShaper

In this video, learn about the insights of indigenous pastoralist men who participated in a recent training based on the Secure Your Families Futures (SYFF) curriculum. The SYFF curriculm is designed to transform harmful norms and practices about women’s rights among men in local communities. Social norms, whether they are healthy and just or unhealthy and unjust, influence behaviours in all communities. If more people practice and promote positive equitable norms and practices, they are likely to influence the practices in their community thus promote equity and rights. #womensrights https://lnkd.in/d3bSayNG

NEW on the TREE Blog: Fostering Peace Skills in Youth Through Representation! When youth experience representation of diverse identities, particularly when they see their own identities represented in the media they consume and are exposed to, they are able to develop greater conflict resolution and peacebuilding skills. This post was written by Abby Akinyemi, TREE Co-op Student and Workshop Facilitator. Head to the link in our bio to give it a read!

Peace is a practice. It is not something that occurs out of will or ideas alone. We must each work daily to educate ourselves, reach out to others, and have conversations about how to incorporate peaceful habits into our daily lives. What are some ways you can practice peace today? #lmpeacecenter #peacemaking #peacepractice
