About Us 

The Peacebuilding Information Commons is a project of The Mosaic Institute and its student and youth programming wing, UofMosaic.  We bring together conflict resolution resources from across the web in order to support students, academics, practitioners and anyone interested in the business of peace. We welcome you to participate in this conversation, by submitting your own content, commenting, or simply using the site. Please check back often, as the Information Commons will continue to grow.

The Mosaic Institute is an action-oriented think tank that harnesses the connections, knowledge and resources of Canada’s ethnocultural communities to advance Canadian solutions and promote peace and development in conflict-ridden or under-developed parts of our world.

Based in Toronto, one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, the Mosaic Institute believes that the knowledge, resources and global connections of passionate Canadians from all corners of the globe have the potential to change our world. These “citizen experts” are uniquely positioned to enhance Canada’s global commitment to the advancement of peace and development. For more information, please visit www.mosaicinstitute.ca.

UofMosaic is taking Mosaic's programming to school. We are in the process of establishing student chapters across Canada, which will challenge extremism, build bridges between ethnocultural communities on campus, and empower young people to be global peacebuilders.  For more information, please visit our UofMosaic Chapters page.
