Decision-makers met at the Université Libre du Burkina to find solutions to local and global challenges.

Inter-Generational Dialogue28 September 2019

At the Université Libre du Burkina, decision-makers looked for solutions anchored in the four Global Peace pillars, from shared values to a protected environment.

On 28 September 2019, Global Peace hosted an Inter-Generational Dialogue (IGD) at the Université Libre du Burkina, Burkina Faso.

The IGD brought together a group of decision-makers to take part in a discussion that addressed several local and global issues. The dialogue aimed to generate solutions anchored on the four guiding pillars of Global Peace: to build cooperation, tolerance and shared values, to build inclusive economic growth, to preserve our environment and to promote shared knowledge for human progress. The panellists included Mr Celestin Zongo, expert in Peace and Humanitarian Work, Dr Poussi Sawadogo, a Good Governance and Human Rights specialist, and Mr Francois Ouedraogo, Acting Country Director of International Model Diplomats for Integrated Development (IMDID) Burkina Faso.
