The aim was to deepen the reflection on the role that practices based on dialogue and non-violence can play for conflict resolution, both in case of armed conflicts and in case of social, ethnic or political conflicts where violence is raging.
On this occasion, the titles of "Standard Bearers of the United States of the World" were presented to communication experts from Arab countries.
