Dr. Anna Storck, the dean of Peace Department at FUGIC/IFGIC, was a project coordinator of the Talk To Me International Youth For Peace Conference in Auckland, New Zealand. The conference was held from July 3 to 6 at St. Heliers Church and offered 50 young people from over 20 countries a platform to discuss issues such as culture, differences and integration. Using open space technology the conference offered cross-cultural leadership training and workshops in art, music and creative writing.

“Our most basic aim here was to create an opportunity for people from various cultures to get to know each other and share their visions, hopes and dreams for the future. We opened a dialogue between us and discussed what our future and living in peace might look like. The dialogue was challenging, disagreements were raised, but new perspectives were born as well.” – Anna Storck
