Rewind to the 8th Capstone Conference highlights from (Oct 23, 2025), where Cohort 8 fellows showcased projects on youth empowerment, gender equality, and climate action, including a Positive Peace Toolkit launch, through Rudolf Nsang’s poetry. #Peacebuilding

Glad this is finally being reported on…

I used to listen to this show but it quickly turned into clicks over facts. Podcasters aren’t always journalists, but both hold power & have an ethical responsibility. Let's hope this leads to better standards.

I had the absolute pleasure of MCing the #MUKCapstone at @MakerereRotary. 🎤

It was inspiring to see the previous cohort present their impactful social change initiatives. Very grateful to the departing peace fellows for their warm welcome to the new members.

This approach emphasizes the importance of local knowledge, community engagement, and the integration of traditional practices into modern peace initiatives. #MUKCapstone

📸 Some snaps from the @TheJNLC. A big thank you for an engaging and informative session last week.

The team honours the legacy of Julius Nyerere, the late, great first leader of post-colonial #Tanzania, known for his activism & commitment to peaceful change and social equality.

Thrilled to announce I’ve been selected as a @Rotary Peace Fellow. 🎉

I’ll be in Kampala, #Uganda, for the rest of the year, pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Peace Building & Conflict Transformation at @MakerereRotary gaining tools to influence policy and drive real change.

About 1,300 #Yazidi children remain #missing 10 years after #ISIS brutally attacked their community.

The Yazidi #genocide in 2014 disproportionately affected children.
