Through a shared value approach, we are looking for partnerships to support the Peace Talks and amplify the impact of positive inspiring stories. Do not hesitate to be in touch with us!
“Peace Talks” is an event which aims to showcase inspirational stories of action for peace. Speakers came from diverse backgrounds, including mediators, business leaders from multinational corporations, former gang members from Central America, journalists, an Academy Award winning actor, young people and school children, particle physicist, civil society leaders, military, members of Parliaments, artists, as well as the 7th Secretary-General of the United Nations. To date there have been 12 editions of Peace Talks in 6 countries, 131 speakers, over 6,800 in person attendees and more than 131 million impressions on the event’s hashtags.
Through the ‘Abidjan Peace Talks’, Geneva Peace Talks, Interpeace, Indigo-Côte d’Ivoire and N’Zarama Center for Peacebuilding (NCP) aim to showcase inspirational stories of young Ivorians who are making extraordinary contributions to peace and security in Côte d’Ivoire, and to encourage more young people to become active agents of peace. Speakers will share their personal stories around the main theme of the event: “Youth Contributions towards Peacebuilding in Côte d’Ivoire”, and will be required to speak in their personal capacity and not represent an organization or political entity. They will be expected to answer in an honest, personal and authentic way to the question “What does peace mean to me and what do I do to promote peace?”
Specific objectives of the Abidjan Peace Talks include:
Location: French Institute of Côte d’Ivoire
Date: 11/10/2019
