The Ministry for Foreign Affairs’ programme features a discussion on how to involve young people in peace negotiations.

Participants are Adina Nivukoski, Finland's Youth Delegate to the UN, and Senior Specialist Laura Hendry from the Foreign Ministry’s Centre for Peace Mediation.
“Peace without young people, especially without young women, is not sustainable. This is why we must involve young people in peace work,” says Adina Nivukoski, Finland’s Youth Delegate to the UN.
How to make diverse voices heard in peace negotiations? What is conflict mediation like in practice? These questions are discussed by Adina Nivukoski and Senior Specialist Laura Hendry from the Foreign Ministry’s Centre for Peace Mediation. Hendry has participated in the promotion of dialogue in Palestine and contributed to strengthening the role of women in peace processes.
The discussion will be moderated by Pasi Toivonen, the former African correspondent at the Finnish Public Service Media Company Yle.
