Carter School Fall 2023 Peace Week

Fall 2023 Peace Week! Fall 2023 Peace Week will be held September 18th through September 22nd. The Carter School Fall 2023 Peace Week titled Building Peace in Partnership.

This session will dive into the peacebuilding project that focused on promoting social change and conflict transformation through grassroots work alongside the local community located in Jamundi, Colombia. It will discuss the essential aspects during the unfolding of this bottom-up peace initiative, as it was based on the specific needs, interests, and responses of the community and youth group, which has and is facing violence at various levels due to its complex and rough history. Diverse interactive approaches, tailored to the local context, were facilitated and developed throughout five weeks. The experience revealed not only the importance of peace partnerships with local residents and leaders, including its youth, but also how social cohesion and individual well-being are key vehicles for a sustainable path toward social change and peacebuilding in the day-to-day.
