Support Youth to build Peace in Nigeria

New Era Educational and Charitable Support Foundation is very to announce and report that Professor Sanjay Misra, a renowned Professor of Computer Engineering will deliver a Keynote Address at the 1st National Summit on Education for Peace and Development. The National Summit is scheduled to hold at the Jos Hillstation Hotel on Saturday, September 26, 2015.

The overall goal of the Summit is to provide a platform for the integration of principles, values and practices of sustainable development into aspects of education and learning that will facilitate behaviour change and create a more peaceful and sustainable future, in terms of environmental integrity, economic viability and a just society for present and future generations. The National Summit will provide a platform for peer-to-peer conversations that address the social-emotional competencies and practices that are vital for coping with the challenges of an increasingly complex work. The National Summit is deeply grounded in the philosophy that:

*‘Education of the heart’ will help foster caring, responsible and accountable global citizens.
*Cross-cultural conversations help people reach across the things that divide them — nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation, wars and geography.
