Build Up is a non-profit with a global team. Their core team brings together diverse skills: mediation, negotiation, facilitation, peace-building, marketing, media, filmmaking, design, coding, data analysis, social media, metal-work, graphic recording and more.
Build Up transforms conflict in the digital age. They do this by combining peacebuilding best practices, participatory methodologies and digital technologies to identify and address emergent challenges to peace.
They use digital technologies to build peace: they support peace innovators across the globe, working with local organizations to design and implement technology interventions for peacebuilding processes that address divisions in society. They transform conflicts that happen in digital spaces: they conduct research and interventions to address polarization on social and digital media in contexts across the globe.
To support their work, they also develop policy and research around the uses of digital technology for peace, deliver online and in-person training courses, and host a global community of practice around peace and technology, convened at an annual conference.
