Four Initiatives, One Belief

We believe creativity builds stronger, more peaceful communities. Each CLADO initiative puts young people at the centre of culture, dialogue and change.

Flagship Initiative

The Peshawar Literary Festival (PLF) is CLADO’s flagship celebration of literature, arts and cultural dialogue. Over two seasons it has drawn 6,000+ attendees and become a landmark in Pakistan’s cultural calendar.

Environment

Climate Dialogue Peshawar brings young people, experts and communities together to talk about climate change and the environment — and to act on it through creative, community-led ideas.

Peacebuilding

Arts for Social Cohesion uses theatre, music, visual art and storytelling to bring people together across differences and rebuild the cultural spaces conflict took away.

Civic Engagement

Localizing the Democracy creates conversations that help young people understand, question and take part in democracy where it matters most — in their own communities.
