Peacebuilding Mapping Project

The Peacebuilding Mapping Project is a dynamic tool for universities, civic organizations, and cities to visualize and deepen their community connections. Designed to identify stakeholders, map power dynamics, and reveal gaps in communication, these maps provide a holistic view of the ecosystem in which communities and organizations operate. Whether addressing diversity and inclusion, eacebuilding, or civic engagement, the mapping process enables leaders to build intentional and transformative connections.

Through this project, communities can achieve practical outcomes like enhanced cross-cultural and cross-sectoral relationships, increased communication and collaboration, and strategic relationship-building for long-term success. The maps highlight existing power imbalances and help communities navigate toward more equitable and inclusive outcomes over time, creating a shared vision for growth.

At the heart of this process is the belief that art and cultural exchange are powerful tools for connection and transformation. Whether through collaborative projects like the Declarations of Interdependence or customized community events, the act of creating and sharing art fosters trust, empathy, and cultural change.

The Peacebuilding Mapping Project is adaptable for a variety of scales—from local initiatives to national networks—and can be customized to meet the unique needs of any community or issue. With its peacebuilder approach, this project inspires intentionality, unity, and sustainable change.
