Migrationlab, Partner of Peace through Culture, a citizens' dialogue
Peace Palace, The Hague // May 10, 2017
The aim of the citizens’ dialogue was to catalyse citizens' initiatives by providing a platform for co-working in order to gain new insights into how to build more cohesive communities. It engaged an international and intergenerational audience from local cultural practitioners, students and young people of diverse backgrounds to high level policy-makers and entrepreneurs.
