PeaceTech

PeaceTech represents a growing movement to harness digital innovation for conflict transformation and sustainable peace. Our research explores how technology can support communities on their journey from division to reconciliation, developing tools for dialogue, documentation, and grassroots peacebuilding. Working in close partnership with affected communities and civil society organisations, we ensure that technology serves local needs rather than imposing external solutions, creating lasting impact through participatory design and ethical deployment.

Overview

PeaceTech represents the intersection of technology innovation and peacebuilding practice. Our research explores how digital tools can support communities in their journey from conflict to sustainable peace, always centering local needs and participation. We work closely with communities, civil society organisations, and peace practitioners to co-design technology solutions. This participatory approach ensures tools are appropriate, accessible, and genuinely useful for those working on the front lines of peacebuilding.
