The ACTION Support Centre was part of the Build Peace Conference that brought together conflict transformation practitioners, peace activists and technologists from around the world to share experience and ideas on using technology for peacebuilding and conflict transformation.

The conference acknowledged that technology is altering how we engage with the world, and is offering new avenues for social change. The conference explored how information and communications technologies, games, networking platforms and other tools can enhance the impact of a broad range of peacebuilding, social cohesion and peace advocacy initiatives.

Noting that most ICT4Peace discussions focus on early warning and crisis response, the Build Peace Conference emphasised the use of technology for attitude and behavioral change, collaboration, dialogue, and or policy advocacy, including complementing existing forums by expanding the discussions to encompass other key areas of peacebuilding and conflict transformation work.

The conference also featured keynote speakers, 5-minute ignite talks, a technology fair and various working sessions on themes related to the potential of technology in contributing to peacebuilding practice.
