The mission of the Peace Creation Lab is to leverage A.I. and immersive technologies to allow visitors to gain an improved knowledge of peace, and how to promote peace and acts of empathy in their personal lives.

Our Lab has created our signature Canvas of Peace platform and the technology behind our Peace Hero exhibit. Our Peace Creation Lab team has also created our Imagine Peace Simulation and conflict resolution workshops for employees and university students.

Imagine Peace Simulation

The Imagine Peace Simulation uses A.I. to engage small groups of up to 15 participants in interactive experiences with art and music, promoting peace in the workplace, community, and personal lives. Participants download the Imagine Peace application and respond to five questions on the theme of peace. A facilitator and the Imagine Peace engine then lead a guided discussion, uncovering unique perspectives and shared values related to peace — in the workplace, across industries, and among colleagues and customers. The result is a collective experience that builds unity, harmony, and long-term connection. Each group's input generates an original work of art — a painting, a digital sculpture, and/or a song — which can be stored privately on participants' phones or shared on display.

A.I. driven Conflict Resolution Workshop

A peaceful, productive workplace does not happen by chance — it is built with the right tools, the right conversations, and the right intention. Our Conflict Resolution Workshop combines expert facilitation with our proprietary A.I.-powered Peace Creation Tools to help organisations foster healthier communication, reduce friction, and unlock greater team performance.

Participants gather as a group to reflect on what peace means to them — in their work, their relationships, and their daily lives. As the conversation unfolds, our A.I. application captures key themes in real time, enabling the facilitator to identify commonalities, surface differences constructively, and guide the group toward meaningful resolution.

At the close of each session, participants leave with a personal creative deliverable. Our Peace Creation Tool generates a unique piece of art or music, shaped entirely by the group's collective voice. This artwork serves as a lasting reminder stored on each participant's phone, ready to be revisited before a difficult meeting, during a stressful moment at work or at home, or whenever inner peace is needed most.
