East Asia has been home to many conflicts, with a huge diversity in communities living across the region and many natives spread across the rest of the globe. In such circumstances, when peacebuilding processes are to be initiated, they are often exclusive in terms of gender and minority representation. 
Not only this, the process of peacebuilding is sometimes set to a universal idea of peace which is found to be rooted in one particular narrative, away from the context and the culture of the region and the people it is to be applied to.
This event would be a glimpse into the history of peacebuilding practices across East Asia and its current need to address the diversity internally within the region and externally with the West.

Goals

• Focus on the level of inclusivity in peace building processes of East Asia.
• To discuss and understand how the existing intersectionalities can be wound together for a more effective peacebuilding process.
• Highlight what peace in East Asia could mean for the rest of the world, especially for its diaspora in the West
