The impact of the 9/11 attacks continues to resound in the international system ranging with issues such as cultural insensitivity to nuclear instability.  As an American or an international citizen, the Global Peace & Security Program addresses these issues among many others that can aid in the flourishing of the international community.  Recognizing that the United States plays a vital role in the international system the Global Peace & Security Program provides the tools necessary to educate others on becoming a better-informed and pro-active society. 

Through dialogue and trainings the Global Peace & Security Program connects college students and young professionals with experts, practitioners, and policy-makers to influence United States foreign and domestic policy that affect their lives. The program assists motivated young people to become more active in their local, national, and international communitities with hundreds of townhall meetings, conferences, and campaigns.

From discussing the various methods of peace and security to understanding the numerous forms of conflict the program's activities gives participants the exposure needed to promote global prosperity.  Through workshops, conferences, film screenings, and roundtable discussions along with many other activities Global Peace and Security promotes dialogue and education that is fundamental to advocacy and activism.

The Global Peace & Security Program encompasses a wide range of issue areas and is not limited to the four issues Americans for Informed Democracy will focus on this year: Counterterrorism, Iran, Rising Powers, and the Middle East. Furthermore, we encourage and support activities young people would like to pursue in their communities which can include, but not limited to: birddogging, lobbying, townhall meetings, videoconferences, interfaith discussions, and film screenings. As a resource to young people, please contact the office if you have any questions or need any assistance to become a more proactive global citizen!
