Our May 2024 call explored the idea of embracing change and transformation, recognizing and addressing one's own trauma, building a global community through empathy and storytelling, and encouraging creative and unconventional means of fostering peace. Diazina shared her personal journey through trauma and depression, highlighting the importance of mental health and the need for those involved in social impact and peacebuilding to prioritize their own wellbeing.
We strive to continuously learn and improve our work. We believe in and value ongoing deep reflection and active community participation. Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) systems help organizations and teams to assess progress in reaching their goals, to hold themselves accountable to their stakeholders, and to identify ways to improve programs and projects.
