Day 24 of 3,000 Days for Peace
Peace Across Generations

Our story

We use storytelling, letters, art, intergenerational dialogue, responsible digital communication and safe community action to make peaceful choices more visible in everyday life.

Young people are at the centre. But elders, parents, teachers, faith and traditional leaders, artists, journalists, public leaders, the diaspora and friends of South Sudan all have a place here.

Peace Across Generations continues the work of Foster Peace South Sudan, the founder’s earlier youth peace initiative. We carried forward what met today’s standards — school Peace Clubs, the 64 Voices idea and creative campaign materials — and refocused everything on safe, creative, intergenerational peacebuilding.

On the International Day of Peace, 21 September 2026, we began 3,000 Days for Peace: a promise to keep peace visible, practical and passed between generations until 7 December 2034.

Our mission

To connect and equip young South Sudanese, at home and across the world, to unlearn hate, heal divisions and build peace, working alongside elders and communities through storytelling, dialogue, responsible media and everyday local action.

Our vision

A South Sudan at peace with itself, where every generation chooses dialogue over violence, dignity over hatred, and healing over inherited division, and young people lead the way.

Our approach

Six stages — one for each campaign of our pilot season.

We will not claim that social media or public messaging alone can end armed conflict. We measure the contribution we make to participation, dialogue, social cohesion, responsible information-sharing and safe community action.

What we believe

  • Nonviolence

    No incitement, retaliation, humiliation or celebration of violence.

  • Youth agency

    Young people shape the agenda, create the content and lead safe actions.

  • Inclusion

    Every community, gender, ability, region, generation and location.

  • Truth

    Facts are sourced. Rumours are not amplified.

  • Dignity

    Victims, survivors and communities are shown with consent, care and respect.

  • Non-partisanship

    We endorse no party, candidate or armed actor, and hold everyone to the same standard.

  • Do no harm

    No public value justifies foreseeable harm to a person or community.

  • Accountability

    We correct errors, record complaints and report results honestly.

  • Hope with action

    Hope paired with practical responsibility, not slogans.

What we say

  • Peace is not someone else’s department; it is a daily public responsibility.

  • Young people do not need to wait for a title before becoming peacebuilders.

  • No community can build South Sudan alone, and no child is born carrying an inherited enemy.

  • A gun may silence a disagreement, but it cannot create justice, trust or lasting security.

  • Moving forward does not require forgetting; it requires truth, justice, healing and a refusal to create new wounds.

  • Before forwarding a rumour, ask who may be harmed if it is false.

  • Leadership is measured by the lives protected, the trust built and the conflicts prevented.

  • We should inherit culture and wisdom, not enemies and unfinished revenge.

Our programmes

Every month, all four programmes answer the same campaign — so one idea reaches you as a poem, a club session, an expert talk and an elder’s story.

Peace Talks

One expert, one live conversation, every month — free, and small enough to share on WhatsApp.
