Our Project
This project is a multi-facet peace initiative that aims cross-sectional advocacy measures, coalition building, and capacity development of youth, peace activists, community leaders, and local government officials. After having jumbled our heads together, our project team came up with this project’s name, “Raqs-e-Aman”. The project name itself is an amalgamation of words driven from two different languages, therefore, two different cultures. “Raqs” literally means “dance” in Persian. In the Persian context, it is usually used for mystic and Sufi settings. In Sufism, “Raqs” is a form of spiritual connection between the creator and the saint. “Aman” literally means “peace” in Urdu. When clubbed together, “Raqs-e-Aman” reflects the idea of our project being a mystic way towards peace.
