Digital technologies affect how we experience conflict. Whether it’s hate speech in our social media or bringing together diverse groups for online training, digital tools can harm & help our peacebuilding initiatives. But where to start? How to know if it’s best to build a chatbot, make a video game or teach people about misinformation? That’s why the Digital Peacebuilders Guide asks you first: What are you trying to achieve as a peacebuilder? Once you know that, you’ll see that there are multiple options for using digital tools to achieve your goals. The Digital Peacebuilders Guide was developed by Search for Common Ground & Build Up.
