AI for Peace · Our next chapter
Connecting students in conflict zones with one another and with peers around the world.
Emerging from the 11 Days to Prove Peace Is Possible and the AI for Peace Fireside Summit, our next focus begins with four teams—and the relationships that make connection possible.
Presented by Compassion Games International · Survival of the Kindest
The founding circle
Ukraine, Gaza, Africa, and the Amazon each bring distinct experiences and knowledge. Together, these four teams anchor our exploration of Student Bridges, with each community shaping its own participation.
Ukraine
Connecting students through dialogue, learning, and creative expression, building on the team’s peace education and youth filmmaking.
Read their storyExplore student conversations and shared creative projects.
Gaza
Building on a system of care for children to explore educator-supported exchanges, shared learning, and friendships with peers.
Read their storyPrepare connections around the children’s interests and needs.
Uganda & Kenya
Through The Art of Ubuntu, exploring exchanges rooted in art, music, community care, and belonging: I am because we are.
Read their storyConnect young people through creativity and community life.
Amazon
Bringing connectivity to Indigenous communities lays the foundation for students and educators to join Student Bridges on their own terms.
Read their storySustain connectivity so communities can share their knowledge, cultures, and aspirations.
Connectivity opens the way
4rest4all’s work to connect Indigenous communities is part of building the bridge itself. Connectivity, reliable power, devices, and local support create the conditions for students to participate—and for the rest of the world to learn with them.
Build the conditions for connection
We are developing exchanges where students can meet, share stories and creative work, and explore questions together. The proposed first exchange connects Ukraine and Gaza, while all four teams shape the wider initiative.
Bring internet access, devices, reliable power, and technical support within reach of participating communities.
Contribute translation expertise and AI capabilities. Live Ukrainian–Arabic translation is a capability to test and develop with educators and speakers of both languages.
Partner with schools and community leaders to prepare voluntary exchanges, guided by students’ interests, consent, and privacy.
Bring art, music, storytelling, and learning experiences that give students something meaningful to create together.
AI practitioners, educators, schools, and resource partners are invited to contribute. Begin with willing groups, prepare together, hold a first exchange, and learn before expanding.
Begin with the children. Build on what we learn together.
AI for Peace brings peacebuilders, communities, and people working with AI into a shared exploration: how can our combined capabilities strengthen systems of care? One World Student Bridges is our current focus, carrying the learning of the 11 Days and Fireside Summit into lasting relationships. Our wider vision remains open to future co-opetitions, sprints, and collective action.
“The collective win is peace. The deeper possibility is intelligence—human and artificial—in service to life.”
Summit & Learning · September 21, 2026
The AI for Peace Fireside Summit brought the question of intelligence in service to life into focus. One World Student Bridges carries this work forward through the four teams in Ukraine, Gaza, Africa, and the Amazon.
Share the teams’ stories and the possibilities emerging from their work.
Build relationships that bring knowledge, resources, and support where they are needed.
Learn what makes a practical difference for students and communities.
Carry what we learn into the next exchange, sprint, and collaboration.
Background · The original 11 Days invitation
The summit grew from 11 Days to Prove Peace Is Possible, September 11–21: conversations, practical experiments, and collective learning about putting intelligence in service to life. This video preserves the original invitation. The learning now informs One World Student Bridges.
From the 11 Days to September 21
The 11 Days and September 21 summit brought people together around a shared question: what can we make possible together? Student Bridges carries that exploration forward.

An Indigenous call to the human family
Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr., Chairman of Compassion Games: Survival of the Kindest, calls upon the world’s frontier AI laboratories, their leaders and investors—and all of humanity—to make a defining choice: place our most powerful intelligence in service to life.
The call in six movements

“War solves absolutely nothing. Let us put our most capable intelligence to work for peace.”
— Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr.
The invitation
We invite frontier AI laboratories, technologists, investors, peacemakers, Indigenous leaders, and communities everywhere to place intelligence in service to life.
Three foundations
Compassion, the science of cooperation, and lived experience help turn shared concern into coordinated care.
Compassion GamesSurvival of the KindestThe playing field
Invites people and communities to turn care into practical action and become better collaborators.
The operating system
Provides evidence-based practices for working across differences and governing shared resources.
The purpose & wisdom
Keeps the work grounded in human experience, local knowledge, community consent, and measurable benefit.
The collective multiplier
It helps the peace ecosystem see itself—and discover what becomes possible when distinct capabilities are connected around a shared purpose.
Using Israel–Palestine and Gaza as an initial example, the Peace Synergy Dossier maps 21 peacebuilding and humanitarian organizations and reveals potential connections across children’s health and recovery, shared-society leadership, humanitarian action, and ecological peacebuilding.
This is an early demonstration of the collective multiplier: how shared intelligence can make existing efforts more visible, connected, consequential, and generative.
A working draft for exploration, validation, and collaboration. The proposed connections are possibilities to examine with the people doing the work—not commitments already made by the named organizations.
From demonstration to enduring capacity
Build Student Bridges now. Grow our shared capacity for peace over time.
Four teams exploring student connections through trusted relationships, connectivity, language access, and shared learning.
The next chapterFuture co-opetitions and focused sprints can bring AI practitioners and communities together around needs identified by the teams. Each effort contributes practical tools, trusted relationships, and shared intelligence for peace.
The enduring workSeptember 11–21, 2026
The collective learning we carry forward.
11 Days to Prove Peace Is Possible, September 11–21, brought people together through conversations, practical missions, and shared reflection. The summit carried that exploration forward; Student Bridges gives us a practical next focus. The wider aspiration remains a world where ceasefire, nonviolence, and care become lived realities.
A global ceasefire and day of nonviolence remains our shared aspiration.
Every life protected is a victory.
Every conflict paused is a victory.
Every humanitarian corridor opened is a victory.
Every act of reconciliation is a victory.
