On May 25th, my friend and colleague, Honey Al Sayed and I facilitated a launch event for the online course, Media and Arts for Peace, created by the United States Institute of Peace and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.. The event was held at the United States Institute of Peace and looked at how creativity, storytelling, and strategy help peacebuilders, civil society actors, social enterprises, and policymakers incorporate media and the arts into their work in ways that break cycles of violence and transform conflict.
We brought together an outstanding range of artists, musicians, international policy experts, and educators to perform, inspire, and tell their stories!
