The Artisans of Peace Program
We believe in the contagious power of creative nonviolence to heal communities wherever it spreads.
unRival Network accompanies those working in the heart of conflict to nurture hope, inspire collaboration, and overcome destructive rivalries.
Artisans of Peace (AoP) is a leadership development program for these grassroots peacebuilders. In AoP, they find community, share the challenges of their work, and find their own desires for peace and justice reflected back to them.
This leads to renewed hope, deepened resilience, and strengthened relationships. Participants who once felt stuck return to their communities equipped to engage and innovate.
I’ve always felt safe in the space you’ve created, to show up exactly as I am, and to share shamelessly.
