PeaceWorks has been generously supported by The Ford Foundation since it’s inception in 2002. The funding has now come to an end and we hope that does not mean the work comes to a standstill. In fact we are in the process of taking the project to Any support, big or small, would be very valuable to PeaceWorks at this stage. The projects that need urgent funding are:
Dialogue for Peace
The programme involves high school Kashmiri students travelling out of their surroundings to participate in workshops—workshops that use drama training techniques; work with film as a tool for learning; use music as a means to involve ‘warring’ communities in recreational and creative occupations; use literature and story-telling to explore and understand tolerance, compassion; work with documentary film-making techniques to help educate and forge ties between communities. And, through all of this—through lived experience of people-to-people

contact—create the space that allows a deeper understanding of self and a deeper understanding and respect for the ‘other’.
The participants for these workshops—from both Calcutta and Srinagar—will be carefully chosen to include students from diverse communities and different religious and socio-economic backgrounds.
It’s an ambitious project, and we cannot go very far without your support. So if you believe what we are doing is worthwhile, become a Friend of Seagull TODAY!!
