[Registration] 2021 Northeast Asia Youth Peacebuilders Social Dialogue – #Season 1

 

Northeast Asia Youth Peacebuilders Social Dialogue(NEA-YPSD) is a communication space where youths can interact by interpreting and exchanging the challenges of ‘peacebuilding’ from diverse perspectives.

 

This communal space aims to collect our wisdom about the role of youths and citizens for peacebuilding. There is no age limit for youth. We are open to anyone who thinks of themselves as a youth.

 

We welcome those who would like to talk freely about peacebuilding in Northeast Asia from the youth’s standpoint and be connected to one another.
