I help young people learn about peace and conflict issues internationally.
I get in to work, check my email. I facilitate a workshop with young adults to help them learn what conflict means to them, and what peace looks like in their community. We talk about the importance of learning about other people in order to help build peace around the world.
Here's the first step for college students
The first step is to major in International Relations, or something similar, in college. Make sure to study abroad. If you want to get a job that is international, your employer needs to know that you are actually interested in going abroad to learn about other people.
