ASEAN-IPR Discussion Series 2021, Session 2: "Youth as Agents of Peace - Utilising Digital Platforms for Narratives of Peace"

With the theme "Youth as Agents of Peace – Utilising Digital Platforms for Narratives of Peace", this discussion series convened as a lead-up to the ASEAN-IPR's Youth & Technology Workshop and Training Programme.

Throughout the session, the Speakers exchanged views on the best practices of youth involvement related to peace on the digital platform, barriers to youth involvement in peace processes, and intergenerational collaboration. Furthermore, the speakers also emphasised the need to allow for meaningful youth participation in generating peaceful narratives; there needs to be an openness from the older generation to provide participatory channels for youth to be involved in peace processes. Held on 11 August 2021, the Webinar brought together up to ninety (90) participants.
