Join us for the second edition of the Commonwealth Faith Festival Peace Talks
This monthly webinar series brings together young changemakers and established peacebuilders to exchange ideas, stories and strategies about youth mental health, minority rights, and peacebuilding.
Hosted in partnership with the Khalili Foundation and the Commonwealth Youth Peace Ambassadors Network, the Peace Talks Series creates a space to listen, learn, and be inspired.
For this edition, we’re proud to collaborate with the Rotaract Clubs of Cinnamon Gardens and Colombo Fort in Sri Lanka, alongside the Gujranwala City Leo Club in Pakistan.
This session will explore how exclusion, discrimination, poverty, and stigma affect the mental well-being of adolescent girls and minority youth, limiting their potential and role in building peaceful societies. Through lived experiences, cultural insights, and Islamic principles of peace and justice, we’ll discuss inclusive, healing-centred strategies, ranging from creative therapies to rights-based approaches, that foster dignity, empowerment and lasting peace.
Speakers include:
- Daphine Namagembe, Founder, Tutorfinda and Commonwealth Peace Awardee
- Arshad Warsi, Founder of Peace Club, Sehar Institute, and Peace Magazine
- Aradhiya Khan, Transgender rights activist and Member of the National Youth Council, Pakistan
- Trevor Oahile, Chairperson, Commonwealth Youth Peace Ambassadors Network (CYPAN)
