The LA Dialogue explores those ideas. \n\nCo-organized by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and the City of Los Angeles\, and LAMEDINA International Dialogue Institute \n\nThe LA Dialogue on Creating Cities of Belonging aims to foster reciprocal knowledge\, understanding\, and exchange in a safe and stimulating intellectual environment. \nThe neutral venue of the LA Dialogue\, as well as the private\, off-the-record nature of the discussions\, are designed to help participants develop a deeper comprehension of each other’s challenges and look for collective creative solutions to these challenges. \nUnder the chairmanship of LA Mayor Eric Garcetti and UNAOC High Representative Miguel Moratinos\, Mayors from around the world will interact with select cultural\, religious\, political\, and business personalities to discuss issues of pluralism and diversity. \nThis unique dialogue structure can thus connect local actors – municipal leaders as well as global players – the United Nations\, and civil society.

Across the UN system\, there has been growing awareness that addressing these challenges requires a multi-dimensional and a whole-of-society approach focused on prevention. However\, the importance of adopting gender-sensitive frameworks is often overlooked\, despite some undeniable progress at global policy level through the advancement of the UN agenda on Women\, Peace and Security. Nevertheless\, today\, women are still almost totally excluded from formal peace processes\, while gender stereotypes and grievances are frequently manipulated and exploited by violent groups to enhance recruitment. In that context\, UNAOC and the Permanent Mission of Germany to the UN are inviting sixteen young professionals and civil society leaders from Europe\, North America\, the Middle East\, and North Africa\, to share their recommendations on the meaningful inclusion of women in mediation efforts and in the prevention of conflict and violent extremism. Following an interactive format\, they will exchange good practices to harness the power of media\, youth engagement\, civil society and religious dialogue to support women in becoming champions of peace. All participants are UNAOC Fellows. \nInterested in attending?
