On 24-28 October I again attended the annual conference of the European Center for Peace and Development (EPCD) as I have for the last ten years. This year they had asked me to prepare the concept note for the conference on the theme "The UN 2030 Agenda to Transform the World", and to serve as its rapporteur, as well as giving one of the opening keynotes. The following two days ECPD invited 80 youth from around the world to a Youth Forum on the theme "Youth Power for a Common Future". Again, I was asked to prepare the concept for the forum,  to chair it and to prepare a report. At the end of the youth forum I was presented with a certificate naming me a Visiting Professor at ECPD. I also attended a meeting of the ECPD Council as a member of its Academic Council. For a complete report on the ECPD Conference and Youth Forum with many more pictures, see separate page.
