Why is there so much talk about conflict and so little about peace? We shed light on current topics and talk to experts in order to understand the connections in peace dynamics. We want to highlight the potential for peace and create spaces for action for peaceful transformation processes. We understand peace not only as the "absence of violence", but as multifaceted and "shapeable".
