Who we are
PAX Memoria is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting informed media consumption, amplifying marginalized voices, and fostering empathy through a range of projects and initiatives. Primarily, we develop all our initiatives around our core focus: recentering human and environmental stories in digital documentations of crisis and conflict zones. We are a team made up of passionate individuals who have seen how media has played a crucial role in shaping our perspectives and understanding of the world. With that in mind, we strive to create a more inclusive and trustworthy media landscape.
Our mission
As our name suggests, we are driven by the power of memory to advance narratives for sustainable peace. We are committed to doing this by humanizing the digital documentation of crises using a climate justice framework. To do this, we dedicated ourselves to promoting feminist and participatory approaches to documentation, empowered community organizing, media literacy, and misinformation prevention. We believe that these three branches of our work will help counter authoritarian narratives.
Our vision
Our vision is to build a deeper understanding of the climate impact of conflicts and crises and facilitate a more informed and inclusive society. Our ultimate goal is to uphold justice and counter misinformation, one story at a time.
We envision a world where media empowers individuals, bridges divides, and brings about positive social change. We envision a media ecosystem that values accuracy, diversity, and empathy; where everyone has access to reliable information and diverse perspectives. Ultimately, we aspire to contribute to a more informed and compassionate society through our projects and initiatives.
Our values
We are committed to promoting youth media literacy through innovative projects that aim to counter climate and conflict misinformation. We believe that by empowering young people with media and climate literacy skills, they can become active and critical consumers of information, contributing to a more informed, sustainable, and responsible society.
We offer comprehensive capacity building through specialized training, personalized mentorship, and localized open-source tools. We understand the importance of enhancing the skills and efforts of journalists, activists, climate justice, and human rights groups. Through our capacity building program, we aim to provide the necessary resources and support to enable individuals and organizations to make a meaningful impact in their fields.
We engage in climate advocacy and campaigning through innovation and action. We believe in driving meaningful change through efforts in memorialisation and knowledge. We strive to ensure climate justice and promote a more informed and inclusive society by advocating for access to information and countering misinformation.
We are fully independent and do not accept funding from governments directly involved in conflicts in our regions of focus. We are committed to financial transparency by making visible who has funded our work and where that money went through the publication of our annual reports.
