Facing great struggles in living together in peace
In the recent past, several countries and communities have experienced great challenges in living together in peace.
These communities have suffered greatly by virtue of armed conflicts, wars, genocide, widespread violence and human rights violations.
However, they have been capable of building processes of peace and reconciliation and found ways to live together in peace, relentlessly holding on to hope in humanity.

Dialogue: the best way to learn to live together
The best way to promote the capacity to live together in peace is through means of permanent dialogue.
In small groups, participants from the four corners of the world will have the opportunity to talk and seek strategies and ways to live together in peace.
3.45 pm
Living Together in Peace means…
To live together in peace means we must resist dehumanizing the "Other".
It is therefore, essential to understand these dehumanization trends, in order to prevent and combat them. Inclusive education is vital and always a good place to start.
Similarly, the discussion of human migration movements is central to the promotion of this humanisation allowing us to live together in peace.
- Combating Dehumanisation: David Livingstone Smith (University of New England / USA)
- Inclusive Education: Erin Gruwell (Founder Freedom Writers Foundation / USA)
- The Management of Migration: António Vitorino (General Director, International Organization for Migration)
4.30 pm
Living is Caring means…
Living together in peace is completely dependant on renewed ethics of care: caring for oneself, caring for others and the community, and caring for the planet. To make it stronger and more evident, it is important to recover the centrality of mutual care and the culture of encounter.
- Philip Zimbardo (USA)
- Bernardo Toro (Colombia)
