Where does most violent online content occur? How do people interact with it - and why do some engage its perpetrators? 

Moreover, how do we understand social media dynamics in a particular country context? What are the attributes that make it dangerous—or that make it a tool for peacebuilding?

Please join the Digital Peacebuilding Community of Practice and representatives of Search for Common Ground (SFCG) and Mercy Corps on Tuesday, August 17th at 11am EDT as they present findings from their new research projects. 

SFCG will present their report “Handling Harmful Content Online: Cross-National Perspectives of Users Affected by Conflict” and Mercy Corps will present their report on “Social Media and Conflict: Understanding Risks and Resilience.” SFCG and Mercy Corps are both institutional members of the Digital Peacebuilding Community of Practice, coordinated by the Alliance for Peacebuilding.
