Shield Peacemakers

From everyday person to Peacemaker.

You don’t need a title, a position, or permission to help protect your community. You need knowledge, a few practical skills, and the will to use them. Shield Peacemakers gives you the first two — the third is why you’re here.

Four steps, start to recognition

01

Sign up

Connect your Facebook account to join. Your privacy matters — no one sees your private information except for us.

02

Access your dashboard

Your dashboard is your central peacemaking hub — view resources and take Actions to earn real-world rewards.

03

Take Actions

Small, real steps toward peace — learning something new, sharing what you know, reaching out. None require confrontation or risk.

04

Earn your Shield

Your Actions add up. Peacemaking is slow, patient work, and the Shields exist so that work doesn’t go unseen.

Every Action counts

There’s no single way to be a Peacemaker, so there’s no single Action. Actions that build knowledge, connection, or conversation move you forward.

Report an Action

Had a conversation that mattered regarding potential violence? If it encouraged someone to support non-violence in response to a dispute — log it.

Refer a friend

Peace spreads person to person. Invite someone you trust to join, and you both take a step forward.

Share a Shield post

Pass on a message worth hearing. Sharing trusted content helps good information travel further than rumour does.

Read a resource

Understanding is an Action. Every guide, story, or lesson you finish makes you better equipped for the conversations that count.

The four Shields

Shields mark how far you’ve come. Each level takes more sustained effort than the last, because commitment over time is what changes communities, not one-off gestures.

Frequently asked questions

Can’t find it here? Contact us — we answer in English or Tok Pisin.

Is it really anonymous?

There are no public or visible profiles. Your account can only be seen by you and the Shield Peacemakers team. We ask Peacemakers to connect through Facebook so we can confirm that you’re a real person, but we also give you the ability to choose a different name and avatar instead of using your Facebook details.

What happens after I report an Action?

It's added to your record and counts toward your next Shield. We look at the pattern of Actions across communities to understand where peacemaking is happening. We want to gather and share stories that Peacemakers want shared — but we do not identify people involved.

Do I need good internet or a new phone?

No new phone needed — the app is built to run on the phones most people in PNG already have, and to use as little data as possible. You'll need a connection to sync your Actions, but you won't need fast internet or a big data plan.

Who can see my information?

Only the Shield Peacemakers team, and only what's needed to run the programme. We never sell your data, never share it with other Peacemakers, and never hand identifying information to community leaders. We would only ever disclose anything if the law required it of us.

What are the rewards?

The real reward is what you learn and what you build in your community — but we also recognise commitment. As you earn Shields, you'll unlock recognition for your progress and earn real-world rewards.

It starts with someone deciding to act.

Join now and take your first Action. It only takes a minute to join and get started.
