We will delve into an eye-opening discussion on how digital tools can bring people together instead of driving us apart. To shoulder our host this time is Lena Slachmuijlder, a veteran peace builder with 30 years of experience working for peaceful social change, starting as a journalist with anti-apartheid media in South Africa, and pioneering creative media tools for peacebuilding over the last two decades. She has trained journalists, artists and peacebuilders across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, has published numerous articles and book chapters, and produced an award-winning film about Burundi’s “Heroes”.
