  In Place of War is a global organization that uses creativity in places of conflict as a tool for positive change. We enable grassroots change-makers in music, theatre and across the arts to transform a culture of violence and suffering into hope, opportunity and freedom.

We enable grassroots change-makers in music, theatre and across the arts to transform a culture of violence and suffering into hope, opportunity and freedom. In Place of War has three pillars of work that we deliver on the ground in places of conflict. 1. Cultural Spaces: Creating safe cultural spaces in some of the world's most unsupported places. The creation of cultural spaces saves people’s lives, giving those in the most marginalized communities the opportunity to express themselves non-violently and build new opportunities. In Place of War is co-creating spaces through business planning, funding and the collection of over $500,000 of donated music, theatre and dance equipment. 2. Education and Entrepreneurship: Creative entrepreneur training designed specifically for conflict zones. Giving people the tools and capacity to build their own opportunities and futures is essential for making long-term, impactful and meaningful change. We have trained 200 trainers, in 18 countries, developing skills via our Creative and Social Entrepreneurial Training Programme (CASE). Most recently In Place of War has developed modules around the development of cultural spaces, creative organizations and refugee integration. 3. Artistic Collaboration: International artistic collaboration as an antidote to violence. We curate artistic collaborations across the world which result in shared skills, knowledge and hope. So far we have mobilized over 1000 artists from 25 countries with the creation of gigs, festivals, conventions, tours, collaborations and theatre performances.
