Launched in
2020, UNESCO’s Together for Peace (T4P) initiative, a collaboration with Japan’s
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Thailand’s Ministry of Education, addresses a
number of challenges in the Asia-Pacific region by building and sustaining
‘positive peace’. Positive peace is a holistic, relational and sustainable
approach to resolving and redressing unjust structural social, political, cultural
and economic factors that sustain and reinforce a culture of violence. Together
for Peace encourages Member States to develop and strengthen a culture of justice
and equity, collaboration and community engagement, effective governance and
sustainability.
Romania’s
Permanent Delegate to UNESCO, Ambassador Simona Miculescu commented on the
merits of this initiative.
