Salzburg Global held a four-day accelerator workshop in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 

The program organized for Salzburg Global Fellows of its Asia Peace Innovators Forum provided a dynamic platform for peer learning, the advancement of six pioneering peacebuilding initiatives, and the strengthening of regional and global networks among 30 Fellows.

Meanwhile, Salzburg Global through this event convened three of nearly 200 total Fellows in Salzburg, Austria for capacity-building sessions.

The Salzburg Global said that the project would foster leadership, economic independence, and advocacy capacity for marginalized women while ensuring Indigenous voices are heard in development planning, reads a statement issued by Salzburg Global.

Similarly, the project amplifies the voices of women in conflict zones, emphasizing feminist peacebuilding in India, Kenya, Myanmar, the Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, and Sri Lanka, the Salzburg Global said in a statement.

Likewise, this project empowers young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 years old in conflict-affected regions through peace books—arts-based tools for storytelling, healing, and peacebuilding.

In addition, this initiative preserves and promotes Indigenous peoples' agricultural practices, recognizing their vital role in climate adaptation and food security, the Salzburg Global said.

Furthermore, throughout the workshop, 30 Fellows of the Asia Peace Innovators Forum collaborated intensively, refining their projects into actionable proposals.

Meanwhile, Salzburg Global has called on peacebuilding organizations, donors, and supporters to engage with these transformative projects and explore opportunities for collaboration.
