Peace Circles
At the heart of the Hear Us. Act Now for a Peaceful World campaign are Peace Circles, inclusive intergenerational dialogues facilitated by youth and allies across the globe.
From addressing prevention to disarmament to climate security and gender equality, the Peace Circles are spaces for action-oriented solutions, co-creation, and storytelling around peace.
