Peace It Forward

This video is our final capstone project for New York University Master of Science in Global Affairs program. This project does not have any promotional purpose or intention to generate profit. The featured presentation highlights four peacebuilding initiatives by ordinary people based on the arts and sports in Sri Lanka and Timor-Leste. We are Lili Nikolova and Andini Effendi, graduated from the Center for Global Affairs at New York University, class of 2013. We are passionate about creative approaches to peacebuilding and we enjoy producing videos. We hope the stories will inspire others the same way they have inspired us to contribute to positive social change.
