We just concluded the Final Regional Event of Kujenga Amani project, where youth leaders, civil society, and media from across the Swahili Coast shared lessons and reaffirm: #peace grows when local communities, especially #youth, have the space, tools, and trust to shape it

Presence ≠ power.

È un cambio di linguaggio.
E il linguaggio orienta il modo in cui vediamo il mondo.

On Sept 21, at Cinema Modernissimo in Bologna, we gathered for a screening of Quo Vadis, Aida? by Jasmila Žbanić, a powerful, Oscar-nominated film on the #Srebrenica tragedy, 30 years on.
A night of remembrance, dialogue & the start of our 10th anniversary journey
Il peace-washing svuota di ogni significato il termine pace, lo riduce a slogan, a dichiarazioni o imposizioni invece che mediazione.

🌍At the High-Level Panel on the Baku Hub Partnership in Bonn, we explored how #climateaction must be peace-positive, addressing root vulnerabilities and building long-term resilience.

Perché i negoziati sul clima e il G7 sono un banco di prova per la pace globale?
A 10 anni dagli Accordi di Parigi, i segnali sono allarmanti: frammentazione politica e sfiducia crescente verso i processi multilaterali.
Ne parliamo su @huffpostitalia.bsky.social ✍️
🧩 We need democratic societies that don’t just react to threats, but prevent them and build resilience.
At @peaceagency.bsky.social our work is about connecting these dots:
Between policy and people.
Because peace isn’t passive: it’s political, practical and participatory.
3️⃣ Parliaments matter
They can turn principles into policy.
And when politics listens more, societies radicalise less.
