Peacebuilders spend a lot of time in the non-digital world, at the conflict resolution table, making connections, reframing ideas, challenging the status quo and creating the space for resolution between parties in conflict.
There are tools out there right now, blogging, podcasting, video creation, content curation tools, and many more that make it easy for the peacebuilder to do all of these things in public, in real time, creating change right now.
The issue is not the tools, or even serving the clients through using the tools.
The issue is shifting the field based mindset, philosophy and thought processes around personal/brand self-promotion, client self-determination, putting an idea “out there” and standing up for it.
Even if the client, the audience, or the peers disagree.
The issue is fear.
The issue is courage.
The issue is in the self, rather than in the tools.
Digital = fearless.
Who’s ready to be fearless today?
