Launch of the Peace Portal

The Peace Portal is an initiative of the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict. The building of the Peace Portal has been supported by the City Council of The Hague, and the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs.

Programme

The event will be opened by Joris Voorhoeve, Co-chair of the GPPAC Foundation Board, and one of the speakers will be Marjolein de Jong, the Alderman and Deputy Mayor of the Municipality of The Hague. It will include international speakers that will talk about the use of new media for peacebuilding, such as Michael Shank, US Vice President of the Institute of Economics and Peace.
The latest GPPAC publication People Building Peace 2.0 will also be presented, which is the result of a worldwide online contest on the Peace Portal. The author of the winning story, François Lenfant, will receive the first copy of the publication, and attendees will receive a free hardcopy as well.

Attendees are welcome to visit the Museum voor Communicatie on January 26 from 14:00 onwards for free.
