PeaceWorks is a program that enables students to recognize their our own biases and thus view the conflicts around them in a new light. Meena Megha Malhotra, who has directed this program at Seagull Foundation, Kolkata, for almost two decades, explains how the arts and literature enable young people to engage in introspection. Having worked with a wide range of students from the North-east to Kashmir,  Meena describes how uncovering the nature of differences opens up possibilities for finding common ground and thus nonviolence.
She also describes the History for Peace program which aims to bring together teachers from South Asia to build narratives for a shared understanding that fosters peace.
