A long-distance hiking trail in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. A place of connection, and a platform to support local community. Join us on a weekly walk! ⛰️🥾
The 2026 Peace Walk concluded with a powerful vision for action. By hosting local authorities on the Zagros Mountain Trail, we’ve begun transforming our lessons into a lived reality. The journey doesn't end here, it’s just moving from the trail to the community.

From Rwanduz to Akoyan, every step tells a story. On Day 2 of the 2026 Peace Walk, we explored a simple but powerful question: How does peace spread from one person to an entire community?

لە ڕەواندوزەوە بۆ ئاکۆیان، هەر هەنگاوێک چیرۆکێک دەگێڕێتەوە. لە ڕۆژی دووەمی پیاسەی ئاشتی ٢٠٢٦دا، لە پرسیارێکی سادە و کاریگەر وردبووینەوە: چۆن ئاشتی لە یەک کەسەوە بۆ تەواوی کۆمەڵگە بڵاودەبێتەوە؟
سروشت لایەنگیریی هیچ لایەک ناکات، تەنها لە یەکترمان نزیک دەکاتەوە.

On Day 2 of the 2026 Peace Walk, we traded walls for wide open spaces. Walking side by side removes the tension of face to face confrontation, allowing us to focus on what unites us: the trail, the goal, and the future.
