Building Peace & Reconciliation Through Technology
PeaceTech searches for the direct links between peacebuilding and technology. Since 2007, this project has mapped the growing landscape of technology initiatives that promote peace, reconciliation, and social cohesion across the world.
The relationship between peacebuilding, reconciliation, and technology is a developing area with enormous scope. Technology can provide a vehicle for connection and communication across political divides and geographical spaces. It can offer safe forums for engagement, resources for education, and tools for documenting human rights.
From mobile phone networks preventing violence in Northern Ireland, to video testimony projects in the Balkans, to serious games teaching conflict resolution — PeaceTech encompasses a diverse and growing ecosystem of innovation for social good.
This project was originally compiled by Professor Brandon Hamber through the Digital Diversity Project and has evolved into a living repository, continuously updated with new initiatives from around the world.
