   An award-winning actress and communication specialist, Dr. Wyler has successfully produced cross-cultural media and communication projects for a wide variety of cultures, languages and audiences. She passionately believes that the creative arts enable conflict members to open new avenues of expression and dialogue, drawing on cultural icons to create a new language shared within the community. The creative arts also allow all generations to share in the conflict transformation process - including the women and youth so often left behind in sustainable peace-building. To support her efforts, she founded Art Transforms Conflict, a global non-profit and non-governmental organization. Dr. Wyler holds a PhD degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution from Nova Southeastern University and recently completed a research study on cultural identity in Syrian refugee women in Jordan and Lebanon.
