Peace Connect, an encounter, challenging and celebration of peacebuilding gathering 545 people from 85 countries, has fortified the long-present narrative that peace wears not only many hats, but also a lot of layered clothing, visible and invisible garments. Held in Nairobi, Kenya, in mid-October, it was an arena for questioning how we support peace, how we maintain it, and how to keep our actions genuine, not just aligned with what is “fashionable” according to any top-down demands.
