Fighters for Peace’s project in Lebanon addresses the root causes of the country's crises through a unique, inclusive approach to dealing with the past. By engaging various stakeholders, including former combatants, war victims and their families, youth, and local communities, the project fosters dialogue and reflection on the legacy of the Lebanese civil war and subsequent conflicts.
Key points of impact include:
- Promoting Reconciliation and Understanding: The project creates safe spaces for dialogue on sensitive topics, reducing inter-communal and sectarian tensions, and fostering unity.
- Learning from Past and Recent Conflict Contexts: Incorporating the civil war’s legacy, as well as recent conflicts involving Hezbollah and Israel and the collapse of the Syrian regime, ensures comprehensive discussions about the challenges Lebanon faces.
- Fostering a Stable and Peaceful Future: By addressing the unresolved issues of the past and collaboratively seeking solutions based on shared values, the project paves the way for a more just and peaceful Lebanon.
Through its activities across regions, the project encourages collective memory and dialogue as essential steps toward long-term peace and stability in Lebanon.
