    <description>Bridges &amp; Beacons is a podcast from The Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution. We invite you to listen in to multigenerational conversations with the peacebuilders shaping our world. Through dialogue that bridges divides and leadership that shines a light forward, this series explores how connection, empathy, and resilience make peace possible.

Inspired by President Carter’s legacy of moral clarity and thoughtful mediation, each episode reveals the human stories behind conflict resolution—offering guidance, hope, and practical wisdom from those working toward justice and understanding every day.

This is a space where every voice belongs, every perspective matters, and every story strengthens our shared commitment to humanitarian values and community peacebuilding.

Peace isn't passive—it's built. At the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, our community transforms conflict into opportunity for justice. We combine rigorous research with real-world action, developing innovative approaches that address conflict at its roots and empower communities locally, nationally, and globally. Through transformative education and hands-on practice, students and alumni are equipped to create ethical, just solutions that matter.
