In 2022, the global community witnessed another series of challenges that threatened or at least influenced daily lives of every citizen, including the Russian-Ukraine War, economic recession, climate change, poverty, welfare system, violence, and the COVID-19 pandemic, to name a few.

​

In cooperation of HWPL and global actors of peace from national leaders to teenager students, they took the adverse effect of the pandemic as an opportunity to share information of peace on online channels, peace projects including news reports, peace education, seminars on human rights, and interfaith dialogues showed both quantitative and qualitative improvements. Further, HWPL and journalists around the world never lost their zeal for their ever-present role - empowering people to take actions for the creation of a world peace community. 

 

Another significant achievement was to publish "Peace Journalism Studies" for the first time, by contribution of international journalists with their expertise and perspective on peace. The topics ranged from analyzing conflict situations and peacebuilding efforts with a country case to the role of civil society in bringing social changes through advocacy of peace.

 

With these achievements, HWPL holds an online event for journalists with the contributors as speakers to discuss the efforts of peace that can provide fresh ideas of the role of media in peacebuilding and raise awareness of the need for advocacy of peace from every citizen of society which again requires media to share information through reporting.

 

This event aims to 1) sharing the ideas of peace journalism, 2) bringing out colletive voice of international network of media for peace, and 3) suggesting future action plans to appeal to people in globe to have peace in their minds.
