Description

To celebrate United Nations Day (24 October) in Dresden, UNU-FLORES and partners are organising an exciting programme on the topic “Culture of Peace”.

Once a year, to commemorate UN Day in Dresden, we gather to discuss one of the key issues of the United Nations and its importance in the day-to-day life of the local community.

This year we want to discuss how we can establish peace-building structures in the long term and what can be done locally to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 16.

Dr Angela Kane, Sam Nunn Distinguished Fellow, Nuclear Threat Initiative in Washington DC and former Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, United Nations, will report on “Culture of Peace”.

Afterwards, she will join a panel discussion, among others, with a Representative of the City of Dresden (TBC) to talk about solutions for people and the City of Dresden with regard to this topic.

The Award Ceremony of the 23rd Lokale Agenda e.V. and the Lions Club Dresden Agenda 21 Contest will again be held as part of the event.

The public event will be in German.
