Since January 2020, Peace Dialogue NGO has been implementing an initiative called Open Narratives. The project is aimed at fostering a critical and self-critical reflection on past, present and possible future impacts of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on social and political constructs, as well as to the formation of national, gender, religious and other identities in societies involved in the aforementioned conflict.

From a longer-term perspective, the initiative is aimed at shaping a realistic vision of the future following the 44-day war, based on critical and self-critical analysis of lessons from the past and present.

The initiative consists of a number of multi-stakeholder dialogue meetings that will be held in 2021 and 2022, aimed at promoting public discourse on possible ways of overcoming the challenges related to security, human rights protection and democracy in the newly-created situation as a result of the 44-day war.
