Invitation to the 5th Global Peace Summit 2026 – A Milestone Gathering at the United Nations
Peace is built when young leaders are empowered to make a difference. In this spirit, the 5th Global Peace Summit, taking place from January 21–23, 2026 at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, will bring together exceptional students from around the world to exchange ideas, engage with thought leaders, and develop actionable strategies for peacebuilding. This milestone edition marks five years of cultivating globally conscious leaders.
This milestone edition has drawn strong international support, including a letter from the Ambassador of Palestine in Malaysia, affirming that lasting peace is possible when we unite as One People, and an endorsement from the United Nations in New York, recognizing the Summit as a platform that empowers youth to act for peace.
Why This Summit Matters
- Transformative Learning: Delegates will take part in plenary sessions, dialogues, and skill-building workshops designed to challenge perspectives and inspire action.
- Global Recognition: Each delegate will be conferred the title of Humanitarian Affairs Peace Ambassador for one year — an honour that advances personal growth and strengthens professional credibility.
- Ripple Effect: With the support of educators, students will be empowered to translate their learning into meaningful impact in their communities.
