We have arrived at a crossroad where social media could become either the biggest enemy or the greatest ally of peace.

This research explores the positive potential of social media in peacebuilding to map, resolve and prevent conflicts. More specifically, it provides an overview of projects conducted by PAX’s peer peace organizations that incorporate social media.
