Season 8 Episode 80: Dr. Ernest Uwazie & Julius Austin

By Adrian Ruiz

We are so excited to share in this episode the important work that Afripeace from Sacramento is doing to provide life transforming experiences for youth through a cultural exchange program. The Youth Peace and Cultural Education Program aims to promote global education and conflict resolution among the youth through exchanges between US and African youth.

The year-long conflict resolution orientation and cultural immersion program culminates in a 4-week summer trip to a select African country by 10-15 students with 2 teachers as guides. A special thank you to Dr. Ernest Uwazie, Founder and CEO of Afripeace and Julius Austin, Afripeace Board of Director for your leadership and mindfulness.
