The guest speakers who attended included several faculty, student and community leaders who debated methods of implementing sustainable peace programs in territories experiencing conflict or violence. Approximately 700 students, faculty, and members of the community attended. The aim of the event was to encourage university students and other Pakistani youth to discuss the most effective messages promoting peace and to determine ways to move that message forward. As part of the presentation, faculty and students also sang songs with peaceful messages and performed relevant cultural skits.
“Our chapter of Student World Assembly took a step towards embracing and moving forward a message of peace, which is very necessary not just in Pakistan, but all over the world,” stated SWA Advocate Shahaab Khatak. He also expressed the importance of extending the discussions of the workshop to youth throughout the region, so that they too could encourage tolerant and peaceful societies within their schools and communities.
