Peace Across the Sea was a joint project of IVP Australia and the Bhumi Horta Foundation in Indonesia, with Mauro Carta from SCI Italy. It was funded by Service Civil International (SCI).
With SCI’s funding, we designed a project to develop activists and motivate action for peace. Ten participants from Indonesia and ten from Australia took part in four online training sessions on peace education and project management.
Local actions
Participants then developed their ideas for local actions, which we helped them design and carry out. They ranged from a university-level discussion on reducing waste, to urban composting in a small village with no facilities for garbage disposal, a primary school permaculture project, and leading a volunteer camp.
Peace Across the Sea was one of five projects funded in 2025 by SCI’s Regranting Fund. Read more on SCI’s page about the funded projects or in our post on SCI’s Annual Report 2025.
