This SOAS Centenary Lecture titled "The power of youth responding to mass violence" was given by Forest Whitaker in conversation with Baroness Valerie Amos CH at SOAS University of London on 8 November 2016.

Baroness Valerie Amos CH will share a conversation with Mr Forest Whitaker on his work with the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative (WPDI), which empowers young people in communities affected by violence to become forces for peace and voices for change. WPDI's efforts are part of a larger international movement to shift humanitarian aid from a model that simply provides services to fragile communities toward a framework that eliminates the need for aid to begin with. The discussion will focus on how youth in conflict-impacted regions can be trained and equipped to transform their communities from within.
