Spotlight: Le Sen—Peace Direct

As part of the 2024 Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development, SIPRI interviewed Le Sen, Rotary Peace Fellow, Uppsala University and Co-creator of the Peace Starts Here Campaign, Peace Direct.

This interview is part of a series offering diverse perspectives on the challenges of a divided world and how to overcome them. In the interviews, a cross-section of international experts, peacebuilders and policymakers reflect on how polarization at all levels affects the pursuit of peace and development, the steps needed to overcome these divisions, and who is in the best position to act.

About Spotlight:
The Spotlight series is a collection of short, on the spot interviews, captured on occasions where individuals have visited SIPRI for various events, seminars and workshops. The aim of the series is to capture an array of angles and viewpoints that will stimulate further discussions. While these are designed to offer snapshots, the intention is to provide starting points to contribute to continued dialogue to better understand the conditions for peaceful solutions of international conflicts and for a stable peace.
