Stories of Hope highlights community workshops that address urgent local concerns and develop URI Interfaith Peacebuilding Skills. These workshops were conducted by URI grassroots leaders as the completion of a year-long program focused on interfaith peacebuilding. This work was made possible though a grant from the United States Institute for Peace.

Through these projects emerge voices from diverse religions finding ways to deepen their relationships, trust and understanding as they address local concerns together. The richness of local initiative empowered by global connectedness is illustrated by the depth and diversity of the projects generated by these four URI members.

The projects address:

• Championing Non-Violence and Integrity in Media
• Activating Youth in Peacebuilding
• Modeling Peacebuilding Collaboration
• Galvanizing Interest in National Peacebuilding
