The Creating Safer Space network held a three-day final regional research forum in Bangkok, Thailand, from 20 – 22 February 2024. The event was hosted by the Faculty of Political Science at Chulalongkorn University.
The research forum was organized to bring researchers and other stakeholders together to share research findings, unique research methodologies, and implications of the research findings for violence prevention and peacebuilding initiatives.
Each of the 8 Creating Safer Space projects in South-East Asia sent at least two representatives to the event, and the event brought together about 50 participants in total. The participants exchanged research findings and enthusiastically discussed ideas about how to create safer spaces for people living in areas of violent conflict.
Participants were also able to visit the Creating Safer Space exhibition. The exhibition brings together objects, images, and voices to show how civilians around the world harness the power of nonviolence to create safer spaces for a dignified life.
More information about the event will be available on the Creating Safer Space website in due course.
This is the second of our three final events. The final event for Africa and the Middle East took place in Kenya in January and we are now very pleased to share more information about this event on our website, along with recordings from the event. The final event for Latin America will take place in Colombia in June.
