Growing peace through understanding.

We’re making sense of the world’s most urgent issues, from peace talks to political systems. Because when understanding grows, so does our ability to build peace and create change.

Our Mission

At Decoding Peace, we believe that understanding is the foundation of lasting peace. We take complex ideas from the worlds of peacebuilding, politics, and human rights, and translate them into clear, accessible content anyone can engage with.

Whether it’s unpacking a speech, breaking down a global agreement, or explaining how systems of power work, our mission is to help people make sense of the issues shaping our world. When more people understand, more people can take part in building a peaceful future.
