In times of local, national and global challenge and sector funding instability - we want to explore how we can continue to sustain and grow grassroots Peacebuilding. For the past 4 years, TIDES has been working alongside grassroots Peacebuilders, Community Development, and Community Relations Practitioners and Volunteers through the delivery of the Elevate Programme. Elevate is a unique initiative that seeks to build sustainable communities of practice that provide collegiality, training, support, supervision and a grounding space for workers and volunteers that are actively contributing towards growing positive peace within their communities.
