The Abdulaziz Saud Al Babtain Cultural Foundation is organizing the 2nd Edition of the World Forum for Culture of Peace in Malta under the title “Leadership for Just Peace”.
The forum will be held under the auspices of the President of Malta George Vella on March 3 and 4.
It will discuss how the international community should promote governance devices, implement plans and joint initiatives, within a process of collaborative efforts to plan for the project of Leadership for Just Peace.
Political leaders and institutional representatives, high-level experts, civil society organizations and intellectuals will discuss means to connect and motivate all the parties involved at social, political and educational levels to act institutionally and collectively as leaders of just peace for the world future.
The forum will focus on preventing conflicts and searching for mediation-reconciliation policies, as well as on educating and training youths on specific skills to practice a culture of peace within their own communities.
Participants will decide on practical steps to explore and setup institutional mechanisms, educational programs, tools and action plans for the development of leadership competences to achieve the overall goal, which is just and sustainable peace to ensure stable relations among peoples.
“In our increasingly interconnected and conflictual world where complex challenges endanger peoples’ peace and security everywhere, the concept of just peace becomes central at the local, national, regional and international levels,” the Foundation said in a statement.
In order to transfer the culture of peace into reality, the forum activities will be divided into three sessions to set up a structured and truly operative network of all those who are willing to play their role and cooperate as builders of a multilevel and multi-functional “Global Platform for Just Peace.”
