The 2024 EC²U Forum Think-Tank Session: Exploring Innovative Strategies. How Does the EC²U Contribute to Peace-Building?

Through open dialogue and by taking a problem-solving approach, the EC²U partner universities hold in-house think-tank sessions throughout the year. This year's theme is “Social Innovation for Peacebuilding”, focusing on finding innovative solutions to address emerging social issues, nurture positive relationships, and support sustainable peace.

This session is a concluding Forum presentation, beginning with a 40-minute poster session in which representatives from each partner university share their innovative strategies to support peace-building. As an interactive session, this format will facilitate lively discussions and serve as an opportunity to share ideas. There will be a 45-minute chaired presentation following the exhibition that will explore key findings and strategies within the EC²U Alliance.

Session Highlights

• A Poster Exhibition: Local coordinators will present their innovative projects and strategies. The exhibition is a stimulating environment to discuss concrete measures as well as share ideas and experiences.
• An Interactive Presentation: Shift to an extended discussion facilitated by a moderator who will put the session topic into context and highlight the Alliance's key findings.
• A Discussion and a Q&A Session: Take part in an interactive discussion using QR codes to take live questions, thereby ensuring a dynamic and participative environment.
