T20 Argentina associated event
The aim of this meeting is to cross the converging work agendas of the T20 and the Congress of Mediation and a Culture of Peace. It looks to open an enabling framework to prepare possible bilateral and/or multilateral meetings with international speakers that will be in Argentina from September 17. The T20 Summit and the 14th World Congress of Mediation and a Culture of Peace will take place in Buenos Aires during the same week. The strongest point of convergence between the T20 and the World Congress is the agenda of global governance, social cohesion and the legal basis we should pay attention to to understand the challenges of the international arena.
What is the 14th World Congress of Mediation and a Culture of Peace?
This is a meeting which brings together international professionals to exchange practices that help to address conflict and to construct a culture of sustainable peace in Latin America and the world. The Congress is a space to learn about the national and international progress of alternative methods to resolving conflicts (MARC), focusing on the equal access to justice and the construction of societies that are more responsive, inclusive and equal.
