As a new week dawns, we are reminded that every voice within us seeks expression—each one carries the potential to inspire change, ignite hope, and cultivate peace. Here at Renaissance Foundation for Peacebuilders, we have created a platform where every peacebuilder’s voice matters. Today, as we begin our Monday work, let us be mindful that our contributions—no matter how small—shape the pathway to sustainable peace in our communities. Whether we are in classrooms, offices, or public spaces, we are the voices that turn conflict into dialogue, apathy into empathy, and division into unity. This platform isn’t just a structure; it’s a living, breathing space where ideas grow, solutions are born, and peace thrives. As you take on today’s challenges, remember that you are part of a movement shaping a peaceful tomorrow. Your voice is needed. Let it be heard, let it inspire, and let it build. Together, we are the architects of peace—one Monday, one step at a time. #Peacebuilders #peacebuilding #refop #peace MacArthur Foundation British Council European Commission

Working with Montreal Serai as a co-editor has been an enlightening experience. Our April issue explores what it means to be united at a time when war and genocide ravage our shared space called Earth. This issue considers both human and nonhuman perspectives, doings and dealings to reimagine a geography of coexistence. Shifting our gaze from humans as creatures with singular authority and autonomy to control spaces and places and to use, abuse and represent nonhumans, we invite our readers to take the “nonhuman turn.” https://lnkd.in/etwCkdfN
