The EastWest Institute is proud to partner with the Global Peace Foundation to organize the 2017 Global Peace Convention in Manila, the Philippines.

Scheduled for Feb. 28-March 3 next year, the event will bring together leading global experts and practitioners to share best practices and develop multi-sector partnerships for sustainable peace and development and the achievement of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A combination of plenary and parallel sessions will provide an opportunity for participants to share, learn and collaborate on achieving a collective impact.

Kawa Hassan, the director of EWI's Middle East and North Africa Program, will participate in the convention. Last month, Hassan took part in the Global Peace Leadership Conference in Belfast organized by the Global Peace Foundation.
