The arts can be one of most effective mediums to enhance understanding, bring about respect, enable sharing, and deepen friendships between diverse peoples, cultures and faiths.  CARAVAN, where Paul-Gordon Chandler serves as President/CEO, is an international peacebuilding non-profit/NGO that uses the arts to build sustainable peace around the world.

 

CARAVAN builds sustainable peace around the world by creating artistic “encounter points” that bring together those of divergent backgrounds and worldviews to stimulate discussion, dialogue and education, promoting further understanding, with a vision toward healing our world and creatively fostering peace and harmony in all its forms.  CARAVAN’s artistic initiatives have resulted in unprecedented gatherings of renowned and emerging artists from all over the world, coming together to use art for peacebuilding purposes on our global quest for a more harmonious future.
