Peace Today
Welcome to Peace Today, a channel that exposes the stories behind our conflicts so we are better equipped to resolve them. We unravel the stories behind today’s battles of political narratives by having honest conversations. By gathering knowledge and seeking understanding we aim to inform and encourage civil and political society to properly consider what is necessary to break our cycles of war and conflict. We ask ourselves: how many lives must be ruined and blood spilled until we have to do what we should have done from the very beginning, sit down and talk?
