Online spaces for dialogue and peacebuilding
To identify what of technologies look promising for supporting peacebuilding, I look at three aspects of processes within peacebuilding: psychological change, communication and project implementation.
They are at central to peacebuilding, yet have a very different character. Digital tools (or any combination of them) that support peacebuilding should be able to address these very different aspects. This post gives a short overview.
As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote ways of meeting and working have become more accepted throughout the world. Videoconferencing and document sharing technologies have become more known, accessible and affordable. They get used in areas, in which they were not used before, like in peace and conflict work.
This is the first post in a series of four looking at the possibilities, practical difficulties and societal impact of internet-based technologies for peacebuilding.
