Organised by the Berghof Foundation and Conciliation Resources, this panel discussion brings together young peacebuilders from different conflict contexts to share their experience in dealing with armed conflict.
At this event, we would like to discuss the challenges and opportunities for young people to respond constructively to violent conflict and the pathways to achieve change more effectively and peacefully – during armed conflict, in transition phases and in post-war reconstruction periods. What makes young people choose either violent or nonviolent pathways for change? How can nonviolent pathways be more effective? What kind of intergenerational engagement would strengthen formal and informal processes of socio-political transition and peacebuilding?
This event will take place in English and in Spanish with simultaneous interpretation.
