Peace Support Programs
Peace Research & Reflective Practices
To address conflicts in a constructive manner, facilitate difficult conversations through process design and intended outcome planning, to both prevent and to resolve conflict.
To design and implement localized community projects, to promote knowledge, skills and attitudes to support communities in either preventing conflict, resolving conflict peacefully, or creating conditions for peace.
Whereby all findings from the field, through partners or on-ground research are assessed and channeled back into the design process, leading to continuous enhancement and critical reflection on processes and projects.
A systemic approach to conflict
Conflict often results in grievances in society, whether expressed violently or not. The feedback received from partners and societies we have engaged with thus far has strengthened this notion. However, every conflict is unique to the community which it impacts across the Middle East. Accordingly, Peace Labs tailors its programs, by integrating the needs of local communities, through active listening and scientific methodologies.
Collaborations & Synergies
The approach adopted by Peace Labs is collaborative, where close synergies with other organizations allow for a co-read and co-learn model to grow. With every project carried out, interactive learning styles are utilized to increase retention rates. The customized workshops and facilitated dialogues enable communities to engage in peacebuilding efforts and take ownership of them, through the tools provided. The programs are designed to be engaging and enjoyable to take part in, for maximal benefit and retention.
Continuous reflection
The role of Peace Labs goes beyond completed programs. A core part of the organization’s internal peacebuilding process is to reflect and constructively assess efforts, in order to grow and create tools and opportunities for others to benefit collectively.
