Collective Power, Collective Peace

Register Here

In a time of growing polarization, conflict, and uncertainty, many of the most hopeful examples of peacebuilding are emerging from collective action—people organizing together across identities, generations, sectors, and borders to create meaningful change.

Our latest issue of Peace Prospects, “Collective Power, Collective Peace”, explores how movements are built, how communities reclaim agency, and how collective action creates pathways toward peace, justice, and shared liberation. Through stories, reflections, research, and art, we hear from contributors around the world.

To continue the conversation, we invite you to join the next Peace Leadership Collaborative Gathering, “Collective Power, Collective Peace”.

📅 Thursday, 18 June 2026

🕒 3:00p.m. UTC | 90 minutes

💻 Zoom (registration required)

This interactive gathering will bring together peace leaders, practitioners, scholars, students, and changemakers from across our global community to reflect on the themes emerging from the issue and explore what they mean for our work today.

Before the gathering, we encourage you to spend some time with the magazine and consider:

  • What examples of collective power inspire you most?

  • What enables people to organize across differences?

  • What role can peace leadership play in strengthening collective action?

  • What opportunities for collective peace are emerging in your own context?

Challenging War Narratives [past event]

On March 26, 2026, the Peace Leadership Collaborative hosted a global gathering on Challenging War Narratives, facilitated by Dr. Aleen Bayard. The session invited participants to step back from specific conflicts and examine how language shapes collective understanding, moral framing, and policy decisions. Through presentations, small group discussions, and shared reflections, peace leaders explored the power of narrative in normalizing or challenging violence, and identified opportunities to reframe discourse in ways that promote agency, accountability, and peacebuilding.
