The human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Tawakkol Karman today left for the Colombian capital Bogotá to attend the 16th World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates,

which will be held early next month in the Colombian capital with the participation of many leaders and organizations concerned with peace-making.

This Summit will focus on discussions and examples of the many roads that need to be built in societies in order to attain sustainable peace.

In addition to conversations and debates among laureates, the Summit also opens a space for young people from different countries to participate in over 30 workshops with laureates and share their visions and experiences on peace building. 

The laureates will also spend a full day with civil society to allow for an intimate dialogue, exchange of life stories and experiences of peace building, emphasizing the elements that have been strength or light in the most difficult moments of their struggles.
