The UN Dream: Intergenerational Cooperation and our Journey to Peace
While the UN continues to pursue its founding purpose to end the scourge of war and establish peace, there is the risk of losing progress without intergenerational cooperation. United Nations Day is held on October 24 every year to celebrate the ratification of the UN Charter and reflect upon the founding purpose of the United Nations. In commemoration of this day, Women’s Federation for World Peace International (WFWPI) and the International Association of Youth and Students for Peace (IAYSP) will host and co-sponsor a Virtual Forum on Friday, October 22 at 9:00 - 10:30 AM EDT on the topic of "The UN Dream: Intergenerational Cooperation and our Journey to Peace," featuring the voices of leaders from both the younger and elder generation. This Forum will be a space where inspiration and wisdom will be exchanged through keynote addresses from leaders of both generations on the role and legacy of the UN, highlighting the significance of intergenerational cooperation. This will be followed by a dialogue where these leaders will explore the tension that exists as the dream and founding principles of the UN are bequeathed to a new generation of leaders in our journey to realizing a world of sustainable peace.
