Participants engaged in group discussions, interactive reflection, and testimonies, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to learn, share, and network. The hybrid format allowed for wider international participation, underlining UPF’s global mission to advance interfaith harmony, conflict resolution, and sustainable peace.
Conclusion
The Principles of Peace programme reaffirmed UPF’s mission of promoting interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universal values. By cultivating understanding and cooperation, the event highlighted the urgent need to embed these values in education, governance, and community life as a pathway to peace.
