“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God.” This is a message for all of humanity and I am delighted to see the Global Youth Challenge taking World Peace as its theme for 2021. We look forward to learning from young people around the world what kind of education they see as a pathway to peace and what kind of leadership will make possible a future that combines peace with equity and justice for our world. I will be honored to serve as one of the judges in this competition!

The disaster brought on by COVID-19 to mankind is far from over, and people have fallen into worrying conflicts. "Empowered young men and women can play a critical role in preventing conflicts and ensuring sustainable peace". This is a saying from Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General. I am delighted to initiate the Global Youth Challenge 2021:World Peace, where we inspire youth around the world to reflect, think, and consider how to build a peaceful world.
