The theme of this Civil Society conference was Building Inclusive and Sustainable Cities and Communities. It was held in Salt Lake City, Utah from August 26-28, 2019. This was the first time it was held outside of the UN headquarters in NYC. Salt Lake City was chosen because they are a leader in sustainability and being an inclusive city. There was a very large youth representation at this conference. This conference had two outcome documents: an Outcome Statement and a Youth Climate Compact. They can be found here: https://outreach.un.org/ngorelations/slc-conference.
Global Voices was a community group of International and American people who came together to sing and discuss multicultural peace and freedom songs in State College, PA. Global Voices is no longer meeting. There are numerous song lyrics and YouTube links in the 2014-2015 archives. I am a doctoral student researching peacebuilding through the arts. I'd like to use this space to post my meditations on unity - which we so desperately need in our world today... Peace, Jennifer
