The Asia Peace Innovators Forum is a growing network, carefully selected to reflect a broad range of interests and specialties, but also synergies and opportunities to share related experiences.
Since its launch in 2020, the network has grown to include nearly 200 Fellows, including from priority countries Myanmar, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, as well as from other countries across south and southeast Asia. We also include space for peacebuilders with relevant experience from the rest of the world.
Fellows meet online for a series of both topic-based workshops and informal gatherings, as well as in closed platforms to exchange written materials including articles, feature interviews, and blog-style posts. Online platforms are keeping Fellows connected, giving them the opportunity to share experiences across sectors, cultures, and geographies. Fellows thereby benefit from the guidance, space, and skills to explore new approaches to peace mediation and opportunities for cooperation.
Together, Fellows devise projects to advance peace and reconciliation in their countries, working collaboratively with other Fellows and broader networks both within their own countries and beyond.
Salzburg Global Seminar continues to support Fellows' projects, ideas, and relationships created during the Asia Peace Innovators Forum by disseminating Fellows work through various media channels and engaging Fellows in other relevant Salzburg Global initiatives. We have hold acceleration programs for project teams in Asia.
