Social media platforms maximise for short term engagement over longer term user satisfaction with their product, and that is one reason there is so much harmful content in our feeds. Excellent piece by @MattMotyl and Glen Ellingson: https://t.co/xEKqjgxQSA

Somali Youth has a lot to say about the need for democratization and election - 1 person 1 vote - at Local, Member State and Federal level. Are you listening???

"All wars are fought twice, the first time on the battlefield, the second time in memory" @TranVuArts adds a third time: Intergenerationally. What does a war memorial about Vietnam look like that centers individuals and families outside of a military lens? #BuildPeace2023

It was a pleasure having @everydaypeace online art installation at #BuildPeace2023 ✨ So many interesting stories and beautiful photographs. You can still check it out here 📸👉https://t.co/7jxzABn5Jl

[Busara @BusaraCenter]

What has worked in the last 10 years of digital peacebuilding?
1. Access to information has made it easier for peacebuilders to make decisions.
2. Technology such as mobile phones & ability to harvest data has made it easier to communicate with different parties - @CalGish
