The central theme connecting the three conference programmes focused on communication and education for peace. Under the rubric of peace, dialogue, and the role of education, keynote speakers and panellists addressed issues on the generation of fear, threat, and violence; the interaction with the ‘other’ through psychological concepts and the physical threat present within international relations; the idea of saving others through Official Development Assistance (ODA); the importance of perception of the older or generational ‘other’ and the debate on ethics and care as we transition to an AI-dominated world.
