Re-imagining peace as a whole<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With 183 conflicts currently taking place around the world, the need for effective peacebuilding has never been greater. This urgency is acutely felt by 46,000 young people around the world, who have identified peace as their top priority in the report<\/a> Youth Talks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LearningPlanet Festival<\/a>, a joint initiative of the Learning Planet Institute and UNESCO, provides an appropriate response to this need. The Festival was created to celebrate International Education Day (January 24) and highlight transformative actions in the field of peace education. This year, for its sixth edition, in person in Paris and online worldwide, the Festival has brought together a global coalition of young leaders, educators, researchers and peace-builders to reimagine a peaceful future in a collaborative, innovative and pragmatic way. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
