Monthly Meetup
22 June 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm UTC+0
Our next monthly Meetup is themed “Peace begins with me”, inspired by the recent celebration of the International Day for United Nations Peacekeepers on 29 May.
The theme recognises that ordinary people are working in difficult and dangerous conditions to help secure sustainable peace and progress – urging us all to take action for peace.
Accordingly, the meetup will see two representatives from the UNAA NSW Peace & Security Pillar team share their experiences volunteering from Africa to the Middle East and to Asia.
A presentation will also be made by Retired Major General Tim Ford AO, who previously held high-level positions at UN Peacekeeping missions, including as Head of Mission at UNTSO and as Chief Military Advisor at UN Headquarters. Tim will discuss the role of peacekeeping in the maintenance of peace and security.
A short video will also cover the recent celebration of UN Peacekeepers Day and its theme: “Peace begins with me”.
Pizza will be provided with the ticket, which will be shared towards the end of the meetup when you and your fellow global citizens will also have the time to connect and network.
Remember to bring a reusable drink bottle to help us be more environmentally friendly.
WHEN: 630 – 8:30pm, Thur 22 June 2023
