Visiting Practitioner Saji Prelis, Director of Children and Youth Programs at Search for Common Ground, will be providing a public talk about his vast experience working with youth movements in over 35 countries.

What if conflict isn't just a challenge, but a profound opportunity for transformation? Join us for a captivating public talk and interactive discussion led by Saji Prelis, drawing on his personal journey of resilience from the Sri Lankan conflict and his pioneering work with Search for Common Ground. Discover how intergenerational collaboration actively turns tensions into strengthened relationships and builds trust, bridging divides between people and institutions. We'll unpack the core of the Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda, revealing how catalyizing youth leadership and leveraging collective wisdom can lead to measurable progress and truly lasting peace. Prepare to stimulate your mind, open your heart, and leave with practical tools to transform conflict into powerful opportunities in your personal and professional engagements.
