Creativity Conquers Conflict
In Place of War is a global organisation that uses creativity in places impacted by conflict and climate change as a tool for positive change.
We enable grassroots change-makers in music, theatre and across the arts to transform a culture of violence and suffering into hope, opportunity and freedom.

PROJECTS
“
I am a huge supporter of In Place of War. From the role music and the arts had in the struggle to end Apartheid, to the healing power of resistance theatre in Palestine, art and culture should never be underestimated as a driver of change.
