The project was designed to hold a peace festival around International Women’s Day in the Lahore Arts Council (LAC), to increase opportunities of collaboration for targeted CRA women beneficiaries on peace initiatives by showcasing their work at the event, and signing MOU between LAC, UE and PU. 

The activity objectives included to bring together a diverse group of women leaders from various fields and walks of life; to increase exposure to local culture of peace, tolerance, acceptance and positive messaging, to increase acceptance of diverse backgrounds in targeted communities and to create awareness regarding women rights and enhanced tolerance within and across communities. The project objectives included signing of MOUs between Lahore Arts Council and two Universities i.e. University of the Punjab and University of Education for future collaborations. The project also aimed to facilitate and engage student societies of AeP beneficiary universities in Lahore and Multan to conduct post event SAPs based on the learning of the women festival, with a target of engaging 50-60 students per SAP. These SAPs are meant to serve as a stepping stone towards a long-term association between the universities and the LAC under the MOUs.
