Who We Are

Pax Memoria is an international non-profit association (ideell förening) based in Västra Frölunda, Sweden (Org.nr: 802544-7890), dedicated to capturing and humanizing environmental narratives in crises-affected areas. We focus on reviving the human element in digital memories while promoting participatory knowledge production and situated media literacy methods. We advocate for access to information and countering misinformation. We do so by co-creating a narrative that blends memory and fact-based journalism. Our goal is clear: upholding climate justice while countering misinformation, one story at a time.

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 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; a media ecosystem that values accuracy, diversity, and empathy where everyone has access to reliable information.

Our Values

Youth Media Literacy

We are committed to promoting youth media literacy through innovative projects that aim to counter climate and conflict misinformation. By empowering young people with media and climate literacy skills, they become critical consumers of information.

Capacity Building

We offer comprehensive capacity building through specialized training, personalized mentorship, and localized open-source tools to enhance the skills and efforts of journalists, activists, climate justice, and human rights groups.

Climate Advocacy

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 inclusive society.

Independence & Transparency

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.
