The WLA-CdM began its Shared Societies Project (SSP) a decade ago with the hope of building peace and democracy in political, social, economic and environmental dimensions. The project has been making efforts to raise a sense of belonging and shared responsibility from everyone in the shared society. This year, the organization focuses on educational engagement for all.
The three main topics of the E4SS are to indicate and demonstrate some current top global issues including Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced People (IDPs); Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE); and Digital Resilience. With the presence of many leaders and duty bearers, the discussion on policy will change for global action in the near future.
