🌿 Values-Based Peacebuilding Session with Saksham Nari Fellows 🤝

A meaningful and interactive session on Values-Based Peacebuilding was conducted with the inspiring fellows of Saksham Nari, creating a reflective space to explore how peace grows through strong relationships, shared values, and ethical leadership. ✨

During the session, participants learned about the core concepts of peacebuilding and how Global Peace Foundation Nepal promotes these ideas through moral and innovative leadership that focuses on character development and strengthening social harmony. 🌏

💡 The discussion highlighted important relational and transformative values such as:
• Dignity
• Justice ⚖️
• Non-violence 🕊️
• Empathy and Compassion ❤️
• Accountability
• Reconciliation
• Dialogue 🗣️
• Trust-building 🤝

Participants also explored how clashes of values can sometimes lead to conflict and misunderstanding, and why recognizing and aligning our values is essential for building mutual understanding and stronger communities. 🌱

Another key learning was connecting these ideas with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, helping fellows understand how unmet needs like dignity, recognition, and participation can often become root causes of conflict. 🧠

The session concluded with an engaging group activity where fellows reflected on how values-based peacebuilding can be integrated into development work. Through collaboration and shared insights, the participants strengthened their vision of building sustainable peace and inclusive communities. 🌍✨

🌿 सक्षम नारी फेलोसँग मूल्यआधारित शान्ति निर्माण सत्र 🤝

सक्षम नारीका प्रेरणादायी फेलोसँग मूल्यआधारित शान्ति निर्माण विषयमा एक अर्थपूर्ण र सहभागितामूलक सत्र सम्पन्न भयो। यस सत्रले बलियो सम्बन्ध, साझा मूल्यहरू र नैतिक नेतृत्वमार्फत शान्ति कसरी विस्तार हुन्छ भन्ने विषयमा गहिरो चिन्तन गर्ने अवसर प्रदान गर्‍यो। ✨

सत्रका क्रममा सहभागीहरूले शान्ति निर्माणका मूल अवधारणाहरूका साथै Global Peace Foundation Nepal ले नैतिकता र नवप्रवर्तनशील नेतृत्वमार्फत कसरी यी मूल्यहरूलाई व्यवहारमा उतार्दै सामाजिक सद्भाव सुदृढ गर्दै आएको छ भन्नेबारे जानकारी हासिल गरे। 🌏

💡 छलफलका क्रममा निम्न सम्बन्धपरक तथा रूपान्तरणकारी मूल्यहरूमा विशेष जोड दिइयोः
• गरिमा
• न्याय ⚖️
• अहिंसा 🕊️
• सहानुभूति र करुणा ❤️
• उत्तरदायित्व
• मेलमिलाप
• संवाद 🗣️
• विश्वास निर्माण 🤝

सहभागीहरूले विभिन्न मूल्यहरूबीच हुने द्वन्द्वले कहिलेकाहीँ असमझदारी र विवाद निम्त्याउन सक्छ भन्ने बुझ्दै, साझा मूल्यहरूको पहिचान र समन्वयले पारस्परिक समझदारी र सबल समुदाय निर्माणमा कत्तिको महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेल्छ भन्ने विषयमा पनि विचार विमर्श गरे। 🌱

यसै क्रममा Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs सँग यी अवधारणाहरूलाई जोड्दै, गरिमा, मान्यता र सहभागिता जस्ता आधारभूत आवश्यकताहरू पूरा नहुँदा ती नै द्वन्द्वका मूल कारण बन्न सक्ने कुरा स्पष्ट पारियो। 🧠
सत्रको अन्त्यमा समूहगत अभ्यासमार्फत सहभागीहरूले विकास कार्यमा मूल्यआधारित शान्ति निर्माणलाई कसरी व्यवहारमा लागू गर्न सकिन्छ भन्नेबारे आफ्ना विचारहरू आदानप्रदान गरे। सहकार्य र अनुभव साटासाटका माध्यमबाट उनीहरूले दिगो शान्ति र समावेशी समुदाय निर्माणप्रतिको आफ्नो दृष्टिकोण अझ सुदृढ बनाएका छन्। 🌍✨

✨ Empowering Women, Strengthening Communities ✨

We successfully conducted a series of Capacity Building Program for 59 women from Kathmandu–14, in collaboration with Nepal Soka Gakkai International. It was a meaningful week filled with learning, reflection, and community action.
Participants gained practical skills in commercial pickle making, guided by trainer Mira Bajgai, helping them explore small business opportunities and income generation. 🥒🍋

The program also included a session on “Peace Begins in the Home”, focusing on building strong family bonds through love languages, encouraging understanding, respect, and harmony within families. 💞

To put values into action, participants took part in a community service activity, cleaning their surroundings and promoting a cleaner, healthier community. 🌱🧹
It was inspiring to see women come together to learn, support one another, and take steps toward positive change in their homes and communities. 🌸



✨ महिला सशक्तीकरणमार्फत समुदाय सुदृढीकरण ✨

काठमाडौँ–१४ का ५९ जना महिलाहरूको सहभागितामा, Nepal Soka Gakkai International सँगको सहकार्यमा सञ्चालन गरिएको क्षमता विकास कार्यक्रमहरूको श्रृंखला सफलतापूर्वक सम्पन्न भएको छ। यो हप्ता सिकाइ, आत्म–चिन्तन तथा सामुदायिक सहभागिताले भरिपूर्ण र अत्यन्त अर्थपूर्ण रह्यो।

कार्यक्रम अन्तर्गत सहभागी महिलाहरूले प्रशिक्षक मीरा बजगाईंको मार्गदर्शनमा व्यावसायिक अचार उत्पादनसम्बन्धी व्यवहारिक सीप हासिल गरे, जसले साना उद्यम सुरु गर्ने तथा आयआर्जनका सम्भावनाहरू खोज्न प्रेरणा दिएको छ। 🥒🍋

त्यसैगरी “घरबाटै शान्तिको सुरुवात” विषयमा आधारित सत्र पनि आयोजना गरिएको थियो, जहाँ प्रेमको भाषा (Love Languages) मार्फत परिवारभित्र आपसी समझदारी, सम्मान र सद्भाव बढाउने उपायहरूबारे छलफल तथा सिकाइ भयो। 💞
सिकेका मूल्यहरूलाई व्यवहारमा उतार्ने उद्देश्यले सहभागीहरूले सामुदायिक सेवाको रूपमा आफ्नो वरपरको वातावरण सरसफाइ अभियानमा सक्रिय सहभागिता जनाए, जसले स्वच्छ र स्वस्थ समुदाय निर्माणमा सकारात्मक सन्देश दिएको छ। 🌱🧹
महिलाहरू एकअर्कालाई सहयोग गर्दै, नयाँ ज्ञान र सीप आर्जन गर्दै तथा आफ्ना घरपरिवार र समुदायमा सकारात्मक परिवर्तन ल्याउने प्रतिबद्धताका साथ अघि बढिरहेको दृश्य अत्यन्त प्रेरणादायी रह्यो। 🌸

🌿 Pathways to Peace: Storytelling & Mental Health for Transformation🕊️

✨ Stories have power.
✨ Healing creates peace.

Through a powerful session, voices and experiences came together to remind us that peace begins within.

🎤 Anjula Joshi (Canopy Nepal) highlighted how storytelling opens hearts, creating space for expression, building empathy, and connecting people across differences. When we share our stories, we don’t just speak, we heal, empower, and inspire others to do the same. 💬💛

🧠 Counselling Psychologist Ashok Banjara emphasized that mental wellness is the foundation of sustainable peace. From trauma and grief to anger and mistrust, unhealed wounds can continue cycles of conflict. True peace requires healing at every level:
👤 Individual – through counseling
🤝 Community – through dialogue & support
🌍 National – through strong mental health systems

💡 “We cannot heal a nation without first healing its people.”

🙋‍♀️ An engaging Q&A session created space for reflection, connection, and deeper understanding, reminding us that storytelling and mental health are interconnected pathways toward empathy and lasting peace.

🌱 Let’s listen.
🌱 Let’s heal.
🌱 Let’s build peace together.

🌸 Celebrating Women, Empowering Women 🌸

✨ Empowered women empower families, communities, and the future of peace. ✨

🌸As the world celebrates International Women’s Day, we are reminded that leadership is not simply about positions or authority, it is about character, courage, and the commitment to serve others. At Global Peace Foundation (GPF), this belief continues to guide our work to uplift women as transformative leaders for peace and development. ✨

🤝Recently, 26 inspiring young women from Padmakanya Multiple Campus gathered for a three-day Moral and Innovative Leadership Workshop, creating a powerful learning space to nurture ethical foundations and purpose-driven leadership. Through engaging discussions, collaborative activities, case studies, and reflective dialogue, participants explored leadership from the inside out, beginning with self-awareness and extending to positive influence in families, communities, and society. 💡

Guided by the Global Peace Values Framework, the young leaders strengthened key competencies essential for women’s leadership in peacebuilding, including:
🌱 A spirit of service
🌱 Visionary thinking
🌱 Teamwork and collaboration
🌱 Inside-out conflict resolution
🌱 Effective communication
🌱 Ownership and accountability

One participant reflected:
“This program has transformed my understanding of leadership. I used to believe leadership was only for certain groups and mainly about skills. Now I realize it begins within oneself and is rooted in character and values. I am inspired to apply the Global Peace Values Framework in my daily life by strengthening my motivation, vision, self-discipline, and teamwork. It has reshaped my thoughts, improved my behavior, and built my confidence.”

At Global Peace Foundation and Global Peace Women, we believe that when women discover their inner strength and values, they become catalysts for change, nurturing peace, integrity, and collaboration within their families and communities.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women who are stepping forward with purpose, compassion, and courage — and reaffirm our commitment to supporting women’s journeys from self-awareness to leadership for peacebuilding.

✨ When leadership begins within, transformation follows — in individuals, families, communities, and the world. ✨

🌸 महिलाको सम्मान, महिलालाई सशक्त बनाउँदै

✨ सशक्त महिला केवल आफैंलाई मात्र होइन, परिवार, समुदाय र शान्तिपूर्ण भविष्यलाई पनि सशक्त बनाउँछिन्।

विश्वभर अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय महिला दिवस मनाइरहँदा हामीलाई फेरि सम्झना गराउँछ कि नेतृत्व केवल पद वा अधिकारको विषय मात्र होइन। यो चरित्र, साहस र अरूको सेवामा समर्पित रहने प्रतिबद्धतासँग गहिरो रूपमा जोडिएको हुन्छ। Global Peace Foundation (GPF) मा यही विश्वासले महिलाहरूलाई शान्ति र विकासका परिवर्तनकारी नेतृत्वकर्ताका रूपमा अघि बढाउने हाम्रो प्रयासलाई निरन्तर मार्गदर्शन गरिरहेको छ।

हालै Padmakanya Multiple Campus का २६ जना प्रेरणादायी युवा महिलाहरू तीनदिने नैतिक तथा नवप्रवर्तनशील नेतृत्व कार्यशालामा सहभागी भए। यस कार्यशालाले नैतिक मूल्यमा आधारित र उद्देश्यप्रेरित नेतृत्व विकासका लागि एक सशक्त सिकाइको वातावरण सिर्जना गर्‍यो। अन्तरक्रियात्मक छलफल, समूहगत अभ्यास, केस स्टडी र आत्मचिन्तनात्मक संवादमार्फत सहभागीहरूले नेतृत्वलाई “आफ्नै भित्री परिवर्तनबाट सुरु हुने प्रक्रिया” का रूपमा बुझ्ने अवसर पाए। यसले आत्मचेतनाबाट सुरु भई परिवार, समुदाय र समाजमा सकारात्मक प्रभाव विस्तार गर्ने दृष्टिकोण विकास गर्न सहयोग पुर्‍यायो।

Global Peace Values Framework को मार्गदर्शनमा सहभागी युवा नेतृहरूले शान्ति निर्माणमा महिलाको नेतृत्वका लागि अत्यावश्यक निम्न क्षमताहरूलाई सुदृढ बनाएः
🌱 सेवाभाव र समर्पण
🌱 दूरदर्शी सोच
🌱 सहकार्य र टोली भावना
🌱 “भित्रबाट बाहिर” हुने द्वन्द्व समाधान
🌱 प्रभावकारी सञ्चार
🌱 जिम्मेवारीबोध र स्वामित्व

एक सहभागीले आफ्नो अनुभव यसरी व्यक्त गरिन्:
“यस कार्यक्रममा सहभागी भएपछि नेतृत्वप्रतिको मेरो बुझाइ पूर्ण रूपमा परिवर्तन भएको छ। पहिले नेतृत्व निश्चित समूहका व्यक्तिहरूका लागि मात्र हो र मुख्यतः सीपसँग सम्बन्धित हुन्छ भन्ने सोच्थेँ। तर अब नेतृत्व आफ्नै भित्रबाट सुरु हुने र चरित्र तथा मूल्यमा आधारित हुने कुरा मैले महसुस गरेकी छु। म अब आफ्नो दैनिक जीवनमा Global Peace Values Framework लाई व्यवहारमा उतार्दै प्रेरणा, दृष्टि, आत्मअनुशासन र टोलीभावलाई अझ सुदृढ बनाउने प्रेरणा पाएको छु। यसले मेरो सोच परिवर्तन गरेको छ, व्यवहारलाई सकारात्मक बनाएको छ र आत्मविश्वास पनि बढाएको छ।”

Global Peace Women र Global Peace Foundation को विश्वास छ—जब महिलाहरूले आफ्ना भित्री शक्ति र मूल्यलाई पहिचान गर्छन्, उनीहरू परिवर्तनका सशक्त माध्यम बन्छन्। उनीहरूले आफ्ना परिवार र समुदायभित्र शान्ति, इमानदारी र सहकार्यको संस्कृतिलाई बलियो बनाउँछन्।

यस अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय महिला दिवसको अवसरमा हामी उद्देश्य, करुणा र साहसका साथ अगाडि बढिरहेका सबै महिलाहरूको सम्मान गर्दछौं। साथै, आत्मचेतनाबाट सुरु भई शान्ति निर्माणको नेतृत्वसम्म पुग्ने महिलाहरूको यात्रालाई निरन्तर साथ र सहयोग गर्ने हाम्रो प्रतिबद्धतालाई पुनः दोहोर्याउँछौं।

✨ जब नेतृत्व आफ्नै भित्रबाट सुरु हुन्छ, तब परिवर्तन व्यक्तिदेखि परिवार, समुदाय हुँदै विश्वसम्म फैलिन्छ। ✨

🏫 Community Service in Action ✨🌿

As part of their peacebuilding journey through service, GPLP Fellows Mariam Bhattarai, Rebecca Uprety, and Dipika Sharma led a meaningful community initiative at Manab Bidhya Griha School, engaging 37 students in an interactive cleanliness and hygiene awareness session. 💚

Rooted in the belief that peace begins with responsibility and shared action, the Fellows used this service initiative to inspire awareness and collective ownership. When students were asked about waste segregation, only 5 were familiar with separating decaying and non-decaying waste, ♻️highlighting a critical knowledge gap and the opportunity for impactful engagement.

Through practical demonstrations, the Fellows promoted proper waste management and daily hygiene practices, including correct handwashing 🧼. By installing dustbins and leading a hands-on school clean-up, they turned awareness into action. The school also received dustbins, toilet cleaner, and soap to sustain sanitation efforts beyond the day. 🌍💚



✨🌿 सेवामार्फत सामुदायिक सहभागिता ✨🌿

सेवामार्फत शान्ति निर्माणको यात्रालाई व्यवहारमा उतार्दै, GPLP फेलोज मरियम भट्टराई, रेबेका उप्रेती र दिपिका शर्माले मानव विद्या गृह विद्यालयमा एक अर्थपूर्ण सामुदायिक पहल सञ्चालन गर्नुभयो। यस पहल अन्तर्गत ३७ जना विद्यार्थीहरूलाई सरसफाइ तथा व्यक्तिगत स्वच्छता सम्बन्धी अन्तरक्रियात्मक सचेतना सत्रमा सक्रिय रूपमा सहभागी गराइयो। 🏫💚

“शान्ति जिम्मेवारी र सामूहिक कर्मबाट सुरु हुन्छ” भन्ने मूल्यमा आधारित यस कार्यक्रमले विद्यार्थीहरूमा सचेतना र साझा उत्तरदायित्वको भावना विकास गर्ने उद्देश्य राखेको थियो। फोहोर व्यवस्थापनबारे सोध्दा जम्मा ५ जना विद्यार्थी मात्र कुहिने र नकुहिने फोहोर छुट्याउने प्रक्रियासँग परिचित देखिए ♻️। यसले ज्ञानको कमी मात्र होइन, प्रभावकारी हस्तक्षेपको स्पष्ट आवश्यकता पनि उजागर गर्‍यो।

व्यावहारिक प्रदर्शनमार्फत सही फोहोर व्यवस्थापन, दैनिक सरसफाइका अभ्यास तथा सही तरिकाले हात धुने विधि 🧼 सम्बन्धी जानकारी प्रदान गरियो। विद्यालय परिसरमा डस्टबिन स्थापना गरी र सामूहिक सरसफाइ अभियान सञ्चालन गर्दै सचेतनालाई व्यवहारमा रूपान्तरण गरियो। साथै, कार्यक्रमपछि पनि स्वच्छता प्रयासलाई निरन्तरता दिन विद्यालयलाई डस्टबिन, शौचालय सफा गर्ने सामग्री तथा साबुन हस्तान्तरण गरिएको छ। 🌍
