USIP’s Center of Innovation for Media, Conflict and Peacebuilding organized an expert working group on April 26-27 in Erbil, Iraq to discuss how to create a multimedia program that will provide Iraqi teenagers the tools to help them grow into independent, empowered citizens within a complex society. USIP brought together 25 experts for the working group, consisting of educators, media, youth NGO representatives, government officials and USIP-trained conflict resolution facilitators. |
