Short description of the workshop:
Around the world, rising conflict, polarization, and democratic instability call for new approaches to peacebuilding and civic engagement. At the same time, rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence are reshaping how we communicate, learn, organise, and participate in society. This workshop explores how youth-led peace and democracy initiatives can be strengthened by combining peace education, conflict transformation, broad listening, and participatory methods with emerging AI tools.
