Social media is transforming the way people, especially young people,
perceive, communicate and interact. The Arnhold Symposium will explore
the potential of social media, as an educational space, to create
conditions for the development of sustainable peace by enabling and
encouraging civic engagement. The two-day symposium aims to bring
together academics, policy- and decision-makers, civil society
stakeholders and students to discuss and reflect on the
conceptualization, comprehension and exploration of new educational
spaces.

ORGANIZER 
The Georg Eckert Institute. Member of the Leibniz Association (GEI) is
an international center of excellence for textbook and educational media
research with exceptional research infrastructures. The Georg Arnhold
Program promotes research on education for sustainable peace with a
particular focus on educational media and curricula in post-conflict or
transitional societies. The program is named for Georg Arnhold (1859 –
1926), a German banker, patron of the arts and committed pacifist. His
grandson, the American Henry H. Arnhold, instituted the program at the
GEI to honor the legacy of his grandfather.
