Beirut – July 14, 2025 – Vera Mawla, President of Peace of Art, joined youth leaders from Syria and Lebanon in the second session of #YouthTalks, a regional dialogue series dedicated to empowering young voices in fragile political contexts.

The session, held under the banner of peacebuilding and inclusion, highlighted how young people are increasingly taking the lead in advancing civic engagement, bridging divides, and fostering resilient communities.

Speaking alongside youth representatives, Mawla emphasized the vital role of collective action in creating sustainable change. “Young people are not only the leaders of tomorrow – they are the changemakers of today,” she noted.
