Peace in 90 Seconds
Short explainers from our founder and invited experts. Each one carries one idea, one source and one action — small enough to watch on a slow connection and forward on WhatsApp.
They open each week’s theme, so the same idea then appears in the week’s letters, club sessions, talks and episodes. Across the pilot we aim to publish 32.
Watch the explainersOne idea
A single, clear point about peace, dialogue or responsibility.
One source
Where the idea or fact comes from, so you can check it.
One action
Something you can do this week, wherever you live.
Pause Before You Share
One habit, practised every month. Before you forward anything, ask three questions:
- Who made this?
- Who gains if I share it?
- Who gets hurt if it is false?
When you correct a rumour, lead with the truth — and avoid repeating the false claim in a way that spreads it further.
We would rather point people to established South Sudanese fact-checking efforts, such as #defyhatenow and 211Check, than build a verification operation of our own. We are not partnered with them.

Peace Where We Live
One small offline action every weekend — small enough for anyone to do within the week, wherever they live. We share a prompt each week; clubs and circles report back what they did.
Our pilot aims to document 24 actions, shared with permission.
Tell us what you didExamples of weekend actions
- Read a Letter for Peace aloud at dinner.
- Ask an elder one question about how people lived together.
- Greet someone from another community in their language.
- Kindly correct one rumour.
64 Voices, One Future
South Sudan is home to many communities. The figure 64 is widely cited, but it is not an official count. This thread is a way of working, not a checklist: each month we look across all our programmes at which communities are being heard — and which are missing.
It also has a flagship series inside Generations in Conversation, where every episode ends with the same question: What should our children inherit — and what should end with us?
Our rules
- Contributors choose whether to name their community.
- Titles and headlines never lead with tribal labels.
- There is no quota — we hear from communities steadily and honestly.
- We will never claim to have heard from every community.
Unity in diversity

64 Voices is a standard we hold ourselves to across every programme — and a message we hope spreads further than our own work.
