MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION PROGRAMME

    Media and communication play a major role in influencing conflict transformation and reconciliation in post-conflict situations. Media has the capacity to instigate widespread interest on issues that the public might otherwise be quite ignorant of. Understanding of positive communication ONUR aims to use media to promote the values of National Unity and Reconciliation, while facilitating strategic partnerships, awareness campaigns and outreach activities to facilitate dialogue to build sustained peace in Sri Lanka.
