Online Conference: “Why We Fight Wars? Can a Culture of Peace Revolution Work Towards Its End?”

Date & Time:

November 14, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm GMT

Cost:

Free

United Nations has declared the official theme for this year 2024 International Day of Peace as Cultivating a Culture of Peace. The pertinent question is: Is war a necessary evil or an organised crime to kill our own human species? Either way, war kills people bringing untold suffering and misery. Also, it’s a waste of vital resources which can be utilised for healthcare, education, jobs and boosting the growth of the economy. If the later argument is valid, then can we replace war by implementing Culture of Peace. Distinguished speakers who will be speaking at the event are:

Chair – Rita Payne, President Emeritus, Commonwealth Journalists Association
