Cultural Diplomacy, Conflict Resolution & Global Peace Forum

The Cultural Diplomacy, Conflict Resolution & Global Peace Forum hosted an international dialogue on peacebuilding and cultural diplomacy. The event featured two main panels addressing political diplomacy, intercultural relations, and inclusive societies in post-conflict contexts. As Ambassador Alejandro Neyra noted: "Cultural diplomacy is not peripheral to foreign policy—it is central to it." Speakers included Ambassador Alejandro Neyra (Peru's former Minister of Culture), Lauren Turner (Ivey Business School), Dr. Dilshad Dayani (Columbia University), and representatives from the NATO Association of Canada, York University, Queen's University, and Simon Fraser University.
