The day after returning from itineration in the US and Canada I hopped an early bus to Siem Reap to attend the 2025 Asian Peace Practitioners Research Conference (PPRC). The PPRC is designed for peace practitioners, advocates, researchers, and anyone committed to peace in Asia to come together and discuss important topics in peacebuilding in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of the 13th PPRC was Strategies for Peace in a Shifting Landscape with a focus on engaging in meaningful discussions about the adaptive strategies for peace and to connect with fellow practitioners dedicated to this vital work amidst global challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPSC)<\/a> hosted the PPRC in Siem Reap with more than 120 peace practitioners from across Asia and some from the Middle East joining. The participants represented various non-government organizations, civil society groups, universities, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
