Standing up the Young Professionals Interest Group

Jun 18, 2019

The Environmental Peacebuilding Association is excited to announce the launch of the Young Professionals Interest Group, chaired by Ms. Clare Church and Ms. Lydia Cardona. The Young Professionals Interest Group provides a peer-led platform aiming to support young professionals entering or currently working in the field of environmental peacebuilding. Through connecting an active and diverse network of peers with broad academic and career interests in  environmental peacebuilding, this group will create access to opportunities ranging from mentorship, knowledge sharing, networking, and engagement at the EnPAx annual conference, while facilitating learning exchange through webinars and discussion forums tailored to the groups’ diverse interests.

The first meeting of the Interest Group was held on May 29, during which time members discussed potential activities.  Since then, the Interest Group has been pursuing a number of the priority activities.

The Interest Group is open to all Association members who self-identify as being early or mid-career professionals within the field of environmental peacebuilding. The group hosts a variety of members, including those representing academia, the public sector, civil society and more.
