About the Program
Amplifying Voices That Bring Communities Together
We use media and storytelling to promote peace, share community stories, and highlight positive narratives that strengthen understanding and connection. In a world often shaped by divisive headlines, MMPF centres the voices, experiences, and hopes of the communities we serve.
What the Program Does
Media and Story for Peace is a program that uses the power of personal narrative, community journalism, and creative media to promote understanding and peace. We work with community members — particularly those whose stories are rarely told — to document, share, and celebrate their experiences. From recorded interviews and written testimonies to community publications and digital content, we create platforms that amplify voices for positive change.
Why Storytelling for Peace
Stories shape how we see the world and one another. When we only hear stories of division, conflict, and difference, it becomes harder to recognize our shared humanity. MMPF believes that peace is built one story at a time — through listening, through empathy, and through the courage to share. By helping communities tell their own stories on their own terms, we counter harmful narratives, strengthen cultural identity, and build the kind of mutual understanding that makes lasting peace possible.
How We Work
Community Story Collection
We facilitate story circles and one-on-one interviews to gather narratives from community members — elders, youth, newcomers, caregivers, and changemakers — in their own words.
Media Production and Sharing
Stories are shaped into written, audio, or visual formats and shared through MMPF channels, community publications, and partner platforms — always with the storyteller’s consent and direction.
Peace Narrative Campaigns
We develop awareness campaigns that highlight positive narratives from MMPF communities — showing what peace, dignity, and connection look like in everyday life.
