For five days, global communicators, academics, politicians, peace advocates among others, will attend WACC’s Congress to exchange ideas about communication and peace. How can we nurture, grow and share peace? What does Communicating Peace mean? For me, it's pointless to preach about Peace when it's absent from our hearts.
African journalists will obviously anticipate fruitful exchanges and wonderful memories from the Congress. Certainly, they will leave the Congress fully convinced, this world can be changed. It only needs a strong social conscience.
Even as we talk peace, the Congress will be time for reunion for some people and connecting with new colleagues. Catching up! For others, it will be the first time to meet, to lay foundation for building viable communities, in the spirit of peace. It will be a Congress full of memories, sun blasted memories that we will carry in our hearts and minds for along time!.
