Million Peacemakers transforming the world giving people the tools to reframe conflict into Nonflict.

📍 Geneva Peace Week 2025

World YMCA convened global partners — the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, JA Worldwide, Million Peacemakers, and the Family Enterprise Foundation — to shape Generation Peace, a new alliance empowering youth to build empathy, opportunity, and peace in their communities. 🌍

💬 “Young people are not the problem, they are the solution.” — Carlos Sanvee, World YMCA
💬 “Peace begins with resilience, when communities and youth stand together.” — Xavier Castellanos, IFRC
💬 “There is no peace without prosperity, and no prosperity without dignity.” — Asheesh Advani, JA Worldwide
💬 “Young people are redefining leadership. By moving from giving back to giving forward to society, they can turn economic power into a force for peace.” — Olivier de Richoufftz, Family Enterprise Foundation
💬 “When we equip youth with the tools to transform conflict into collaboration through Nonflict and Nonflict AI, we can reach the 3.5 % of humanity needed to create an unstoppable movement for peace.” — Stephen Hecht, Million Peacemakers

Together, we are building Generation Peace — a global movement to equip 250 million young people with the mindset and skills to turn conflict into collaboration by 2035 — the tipping point where peace becomes unstoppable. 🌿

Exciting News from YPO Edge in Barcelona!

Stephen Ibaraki and and Stephen Hecht had the incredible opportunity to introduce Nonflict AI GPT at two sessions during the event. The response was amazing—one YPO member even used Nonflict AI to navigate a tough family business conflict in real time!

This is a game-changer: the power of AI combined with proven peacemaking principles to help resolve conflicts constructively.

A huge thank you to Stanford student Matyas Bohacek for his brilliant engineering work in bringing Nonflict AI GPT to life!

This beautiful 'Peace Wall' was crafted by orphaned children as part of the Million Peacemakers Nonflict Workshop. It is a reflection of their dreams and hopes for the future, representing their desire for peace and harmony. The project was a collaboration with Team Bertho & Project Amra and was illustrated by Subah Samaun Ohee.

I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the past week. The YPO UNGA Moonshot event in New York was truly remarkable, with Mouna Aouri and Lara Bezerra leading and where I shared the Million Peacemakers' moonshot goal. The energy, the passion—everything was centered on making a lasting impact, and we left inspired by the drive for positive change.

After that, I travelled to New Delhi, India, where I had the privilege of chairing our YPO Impact Council meetings alongside my incredible vice chair, Carol S Hansen, who was by my side every step of the way. We were then followed by two more productive days with the Networks Committee, led by Selin Habbab, who guided us through some tough conflicts with grace and collaboration.

But as life often reminds us, it’s not all highs. Carol experienced a heartbreaking loss. As she beautifully wrote, her son “was the kindest of us all.” My heart goes out to her and her family during this unimaginably difficult time.

Please keep Carol and her family in your thoughts. It’s moments like these that remind us to check in on our loved ones and hold them close.
