Our organization is of vital importance for the region due to the need for development of the region where it was established. Developing joint projects with all people, especially local decision makers, implementing them in the region and adding positive value to the region have been determined as the main objective.

MasterPeace is a global grassroots movement, active in over 40 countries worldwide, that inspires everyone to use their talent and energy for peace building and togetherness. Through music, sports, arts, dialogue and creating perspectives, MasterPeace will help lead the way to a more sustainable world with less conflict.

With our 10 years of experience, we have met many dedicated young leaders who have incredible passion and drive towards building peace among their communities. Together, we have realized more than 1000 projects worldwide with real, deep-rooted social impact. We invite you to have a brief look at our stories here.
In MasterPeace, we believe in ‘values’ and in ‘creating value’. That’s why MasterPeace is funded by value-driven partners such as companies and family funds. Together, we create campaigns, concepts and funding that enable all our Clubs to grow their local action and make their impact truly sustainable.

Mission and Objectives

Our VISION
We believe that the world has 7 billion talents rather than 7 billion issues.
Therefore, we use the SOFT POWER of music, art, sports and play to mobilize and inspire young people.
We believe that there is more that we have in common than what separates us.
Therefore, we organize DIALOGUE within and between communities and stakeholders.
We believe that the lack of perspective triggers polarization, extremism and conflict.
Therefore, we create PERSPECTIVE through capacity-building and leadership training for young people.

Our MISSION
Mobilize, inspire and connect talents for a sustainable future with less conflict.

Our CORE VALUES
Positivity, impartiality, co-creation and “walk the talk”

Main Projects / Activities

The MasterPeace peace movement is run by local well-established NGOs/Social Enterprises in 40+ countries, who are licensed to operate as a ‘MasterPeace Club’ in their locality. They are facilitated by a highly motivated core team based in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

We offer a unique platform to a large community of changemakers, social entrepreneurs, volunteers, bloggers, journalists, musicians, entrepreneurs and active citizens to connect and support each other with taking action.

We monitor and evaluate the projects of our MasterPeace Clubs twice a year. In 2020, we carried out 350 projects in 43 countries. Our joint learning capacity is THE ‘driver’ for our yearly growth in quantity and quality, based on a unique model of a low-cost, bottom-up organization.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

  1. Heritage
General Information

The goal of ITINÉRANCE is thus to reintegrate craftsmanship and the meaning of clothing into the collective consciousness. We promote the transmission of these crafts through several means such as in :
the schools that educate,
the museum that keep them,
as well as the ready-to-wear brands that generate economic opportunities.

We would like to become the first Mediterranean network dedicated to textile crafts:
to gather creativity, craftsmanship and social innovation.

ITINERANCE is a French association "loi du 1er juillet 1901". It has 2 founders, 2 volunteers, 5 board members and 6 support committe members.
Sources of funding: We are currently raising funds from the Southern Region and private donors.
Modalities of action : We organise every year an edition in a Mediterranean country. We collaborate with musueums to organise exhibitions and with schools to do seminars.
Main partners: MUCEM, Instituts Français, Atelier Bartevelle...

Mission and Objectives

Our Missions are:

- to reinforce the pedagogy of the transmission through teaching
We value the pedagogy of Fashion schools and their role in the transmission of ancestral and contemporary craft, as well as the importance of training new generations in current issues.

- to participate in the safeguard of intangible heritage and share it to a large audience
This heritage is a key factor in maintaining diversity. We collect testimonies, rituals, traditions, craft and domestic arts around the Mediterranean through different media (videos, photography and podcasts).

-to support the local communities and artisans
ITINÉRANCE promotes local crafts. Each edition of clothing features locally sourced suppliers and a mapping. We support particularly female artisans communities.

Main Projects / Activities

Every year, we design one edition in one country.
We co-create editions of clothes. and what is interesting is the whole creative and research process to do that actually raises issues. We produce photos, videos, podcasts, that is the content for the exhibitions in the museums.

The 1st Edition was in Greece 2018 with 20 women named the “Yayas” (Grandmother in Greek). The goal was to talk about the transmission of craft. We understood how knitting can become an opportunity for social bonding with time.

In 2019, in Tunisia, we recalled the issues related to the status of women in Tunisia through clothing. The upcycled pieces echoed the key role of Tunisia as a hub for second-hand clothing.

Last year In France, we co-created an Edition with the Students of the Arts Décoratifs school inspired by the Mucem archives. It was highlighting the key part played by schools to train new generations to upcoming issues, to link the past and present.

Next Edition will happen in Morocco
Dyeing is believed to be responsible for 20% of water pollution in the world. Since the 19th century, synthetic dyes have massively replaced natural dyes. In Morocco, there are ancient traditions around vegetable dyeing. ITINERANCE will co-create an edition with the women of a cooperative from the Anti Atlas, one of the only regions in the world where henna is also used to decorate textiles.
