We at Ara Pacis develop creative programs aimed at transforming conflict, overcoming divisions, initiating healing and fostering reconciliation and peace in societies torn apart by sectarian violence and conflict.

Our programs are centered on transforming the human precursors to, and legacies of conflict – ranging from trauma to hate, from prejudice to revenge, from fear to anger and beyond – into dialogue, forbearance, understanding, empathy and mutual collaboration for a shared future.

We understand, based on our own experience, that until these human factors are addressed, personal and collective memories of suffering will return, and enmities will ultimately re-emerge to destroy any progress made towards peace and development, re-engaging populations in cycles of violence and revenge.
Here are some of the projects we developed.
