The Elders and emerging policy leaders from the UK and the world will discuss possible pathways to global peace. Watch the livestream and join the conversation by submitting your questions with #WalkTogether

 

On Monday 23 October, The Elders together with the British Council’s #FutureLeadersConnect - a global network for emerging policy leaders from the UK and around the world - will discuss possible pathways to peace in today's complex world.

In a panel discussion with young leaders, Lakhdar Brahimi and Martti Ahtisaari will discuss the steps needed to build peace and bridge the fault lines. Ban Ki-moon and Ernesto Zedillo, will then take part in an intergenerational Q&A session in which they will discuss how youth leaders can lay the groundwork for peace.

If you have ever wanted to ask a global leader about tackling the toughest issues in the world – peace, human rights, or how to build a better future – now is your chance to ask.

Join the conversation at 19.30pm UK (BST) by submitting your question using #WalkTogether and watch the event on Facebook Live.
