You are welcome to join people of all ages to reflect on what Peace means, and share and learn skills and wisdom that may inspire our world to live more peacefully.  We will have activities for people of all ages. You are welcome to display materials and posters related to the theme, but this event is not to promote any one religion, ideology, political agenda, or tribe.

On behalf of the organizers the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP), Bataan, the Philippines, the American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN), USA, and Eubios Ethics Institute, we invite you to support and participate in the forthcoming Thirteenth Youth Peace Ambassador (YPA32) Training Workshop, to be held 3 – 7 November 2016 in Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific (MAAP).

Background: Since 2010, Eubios Ethics Institute in cooperation with partner institutions including American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN), UNESCO, Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation and others have organized eleven Youth Peace Ambassador (YPA) and eight Youth Looking Beyond Disaster (LBD) Training Workshops across the world with 900 youth and young professionals from over 50 countries. No matter what your circumstances or age you are welcome to join. Together, the participants identify issues that can promote a culture of peace. So far they have developed 350 action projects promoted at making a difference in their communities.[1]

Outcomes: Participants will benefit most from developing their own action plan during the workshop.  This could be an activity that you are already involved in, or something new. The facilitators will assist everyone to develop an achievable plan. We hope all participants will also present a LBD or YPA action plan developed with the mentoring of the facilitators at the Workshop during the event. In the presentation of the action plan that you can develop you can join together with other person(s) up to 3 per team. You will be able to change during the workshop, as you learn from the examples of previous action plans, and make new connections with people from other countries. People who report on previous action plans can become a youth ambassador (http://www.eubios.info/youth_ambassadors)
