2016–2026 Ten Years of Peacebuilding
From a locally rooted initiative in Lebanon to an international network connecting three registered organizations across Lebanon, the United States and Germany.
Peace of Art Is Born
Art becomes a space for connection.
Peace of Art begins in Lebanon with a mission to use art, creativity and community engagement as tools for dialogue, inclusion and social change.
Peacebuilding Programs Expand
Creative work develops into structured community peacebuilding.
Peace of Art expands its work with youth, women and marginalized communities through arts, dialogue, education, leadership and social cohesion activities.
A Stronger Institutional Foundation
Peace of Art Lebanon gains legal recognition and its voice reaches Europe.
Peace of Art Lebanon is officially registered, strengthening its organizational foundation. The same year, Peace of Art contributes to democracy and peacebuilding discussions at the European Parliament during the International Day of Democracy.
International Cooperation Grows
New partnerships connect local peacebuilding to wider networks.
Peace of Art deepens international partnerships and expands cooperation beyond Lebanon, creating new opportunities for youth exchange, peacebuilding and cross-border collaboration.
Peace of Art USA Is Registered
The second Peace of Art organization is established.
Peace of Art USA is registered in the United States, marking an important step in the organization's international development. During the same period, Peace of Art responds to the COVID-19 crisis and the Beirut Port explosion through humanitarian, psychosocial and community support.
Communities Recover Through Creativity
Arts-based psychosocial support becomes an important part of the work.
Programs increasingly combine creativity, psychosocial support, youth participation and community resilience, while expanding opportunities for people with disabilities and vulnerable groups.
Programs Become More Integrated
Arts, skills, livelihoods and community development come together.
Peace of Art expands training, digital skills, languages, livelihoods, sports and inclusive programming, strengthening its role as a broader community-development platform.
Civic Participation Moves to the Center
Young people gain stronger roles in leadership and public dialogue.
Youth leadership, media literacy, filmmaking, theater, sports and civic participation become increasingly central to Peace of Art's programs and community engagement.
From Program Delivery to Knowledge Sharing
Research, learning and international cooperation deepen.
Peace of Art strengthens international partnerships while expanding research, publications, artistic productions and methods for turning field experience into shared knowledge.
New Platforms for Cooperation
Peace of Art expands heritage, women, youth and civil-society collaboration.
WARD strengthens civil-society cooperation in Lebanon, while initiatives such as UNESCO-supported heritage programming, women's empowerment, youth leadership and international engagement expand Peace of Art's reach.
Peace of Art Becomes an International Network
Three organizations. Three countries. One shared mission.
Peace of Art Deutschland e.V. is established in Germany, joining Peace of Art Lebanon and Peace of Art USA. The three organizations are brought together through the Peace of Art International network, creating a shared framework for cooperation, strategy, learning and international partnerships.
From locally rooted action

Local Action. Shared Learning. International Impact.
Peace of Art International was created not simply to expand geographically, but to strengthen what locally rooted organizations can achieve together.
Our international model enables knowledge, relationships, methodologies, and opportunities to move across borders while keeping communities at the center of our work.
As the Network develops, our aim is to strengthen cooperation among existing National Affiliates, build strategic international partnerships, increase opportunities for young people, expand shared learning and research, and responsibly welcome future organizations that share our mission and meet the Network’s governance and institutional standards.
Growth for Peace of Art International is therefore not measured only by the number of countries in which we are present.
It is measured by the quality of our partnerships, the strength of our institutions, the people and communities we empower, the bridges we build, and the positive change our collective work creates.
One Network. Shared Humanity.
Across countries, our communities may experience different realities, but the principles that connect our work remain the same: human dignity, peace, justice, inclusion, creativity, dialogue, responsibility, and respect for diversity.
Our National Affiliates provide the local roots.
Our international network connects them.
Our partners strengthen what we can achieve together.
And the people and communities we serve give our mission its purpose.
One Vision. Many Organizations. Shared Values. Independent Action.
