Making Peace Possible with Young Changemakers: An Impact and Evaluation Study

Seeds of Peace India aims to expand their interfaith programming, including two iterations of their Interfaith Harmony Camp and/or a national-level interfaith harmony conference, to address India’s interfaith conflict. The Fellow will be integral in designing and implementing these initiatives, focusing on understanding the strengths and impacts of interfaith programming through tasks like network mapping and enhancing monitoring and evaluation frameworks. This project offers the selected Fellow an opportunity to contribute to program improvement and impact assessment, engaging in research to inform strategy, measure impact, and potentially collaborate on multimedia or community-action projects such as the national Interfaith Harmony Conference or a short film about the Interfaith Harmony Camp.

Seeds of Peace has been synonymous with peace and conflict transformation for over 30 years. Headquartered in the US, they inspire and equip new generations of leaders in conflict regions with the relationships, knowledge, and skills needed to effect practical change, fostering dialogue-based solutions in conflict-ridden regions worldwide. They have directly trained and supported nearly 8,000 young adults and educators and engaged tens of thousands more through dialogue, aiming to cultivate global leaders and advance social, economic, and political changes essential for peace.
