Ripples of Peace
The Scottish Peace Platform’s understanding of peace is inspired by Professor Christine Bell’s ‘Ripples of Peace’, which expand outwards from conflict contexts into peacetime. Members of the SPP actively work on one or more circles of peacebuilding, and will be able to connect with members working in other circles
