Programme
Peace Talks
One expert. One live conversation. Every month. Free.
Peace Talks brings peace and youth-empowerment experts to young people — live on Facebook, then as an audio file small enough to share on WhatsApp.

The format (45–60 minutes)
- The expert speaks for about 20 minutes on the month’s theme.
- A young co-host leads 20–25 minutes of questions from the audience.
- We close with one practical action you can take that week.
Every session pairs a peace topic with a skill you can use — for example, how hate speech spreads online, plus how to check a claim in two minutes.
Built for low data
- Live on Facebook — no new app to install.
- Audio-only version on WhatsApp within 48 hours.
- Short 60–90 second clips the week after.
- Free to community radio stations.
- Watch parties: a club or circle watches together on one phone or projector, so one data bundle serves thirty people.
