We're very excited about the just-finished Hacia Adelante: Moving Forward, the Free Spirit Media-produced documentary about our trip to Nicaragua. Hacia Adelante tells the story of our visits to the unique communities of Los Quinchos and El Lagartillo. It will be an integral part of the Peace Builders' youth outreach meetings.

Carlos Javier Ortiz and Peter di Campo leaving the screening of four AWESOME student-produced short documentaries on local issues in #chicago: food deserts, diversity, family struggles and the effects of video games on mental health. Peter, Carlos, Meghan Dhaliwal and Amy Maxmen mentored the kids through the process. Everyone involved deserves to walk off into the sunset just like this.

The Peace Exchange

“Chicago has been plagued by a chronically high homicide rate. City leaders continue to grapple with how to reduce urban violence. Violence is considered to be a symptom of poor civic health, so it is widely understood that the only way to reduce violence is to improve the social ills that precede it.”

Co-founders of The Peace Exchange believed that the best way to bring peace to troubled neighborhoods in Chicago was to truly understand how others from different cultures, environments, and backgrounds manage to live in peace across the globe. They created The Peace Exchange, an organization of like minded, educated, young adults eager to foster peace, understand violence, and cultivate change. In April of 2013, they established a team of dedicated Peace Builders, or activists for peace and change. After a lively and rigorous 80-hour program of reading and study, discussions, workshops, community meetings, tours and lectures as well as exposure to renowned peace leaders from across the world, they set out on a 15 day journey to Thailand and Myanmar to learn about the spiritual traditions of non-violence. Upon their return, they brought their experience and new found understanding of violence and it’s causes directly back into their communities and neighborhoods. They’ve met with over 1000 Chicago youth, personally visiting elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools, sharing their experience and encouraging students to let go of negativity, stand up for one another, and to live a life that demonstrates Peace and Love. Their message is incredibly powerful and urges to inspire youth in troubled areas such as Austin, Lawndale, Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, Pilsen, Little Village, Englewood and Uptown to take the steps towards to change and peace by uniting.

They also created a documentary showcasing their experience. Learn more about The Peace Exchange and watch their fantastic documentary by clicking here.
