Coinciding with the declaration of 24 October as United Nations Day, the UNESCO Chair in Philosophy for Peace at the Universitat Jaume I organised the Meeting of UNESCO Chairs for a Culture of Peace and Sustainability, which took place on 23 and 24 October 2022.

The meeting served to create a space for debate and to present the lines of research, activities and emerging projects with the aim of establishing synergies and networks between the participating chairs around two areas of work: education, peace and conflict and culture of peace.

Within the framework of the meeting and the subject "Intercultural Seminar" of the Master's Degree in International Peace, Conflict and Development Studies, a round table entitled "The challenges of UNESCO in the post-pandemic stage" was held, which was attended in person by representatives of the participating chairs and also by Isabel Ortega, assistant secretary general of the Spanish National Commission for Cooperation with UNESCO. Sylvana Lewin, associate project officer for Enabling Intercultural Dialogue (UNESCO), and Sobhi Tawil, director of Future of Learning and Innovation (UNESCO), took part in the round table.

The rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, who spoke beforehand, claimed "the value of education, science and culture, the pillars on which UNESCO is based and which we universities share, to promote mutual respect and respect for our planet". Along these lines, she highlighted the important work carried out by the UNESCO Chairs in order to encourage reflection on current problems and the search for alternatives to confront them by peaceful means. "Universities are the best place to rethink our models of coexistence and to place ourselves at the forefront of the changes that society needs. We must be committed to the culture of peace and sustainability because there will be no peace without sustainable development, nor social justice if we do not reduce inequalities," said the rector.

A total of seven  UNESCO Chairs took part in the meeting: the Chair in Conflict Resolution, from the University of Cordoba; Peace, Solidarity and Intercultural Dialogue, from the Abat Oliba CEU University in Barcelona; Democratic Citizenship and Cultural Freedom, from the University of La Rioja; Human Rights and Interculturality, from the International University of Andalusia in Seville; Communication and Educational Values, from the University of the Basque Country; No. 226 on Migrations, from Santiago de Compostela, and Philosophy for Peace, from the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló.
