Current times require tools to deal with complexity, acceleration and conflict at all possible levels, from each individual’s daily routine to international relations. The Rondine Method provides a relational and multi-sectoral approach to conflict transformation, thus representing an ever evolving example of “Peace, Made in Italy.” Scholars and academics are devoting more and more attention to this innovative methodology, based on the experience of Rondine’s international campus with young people from conflict-affected communities but applicable to every context of everyday life, from business to culture, from work to the private sphere. Rondine’s 2023 peace mission to the United Nations and the United States represent a unique opportunity to connect with the association and its president and founder Franco Vaccari, along with scholars and former fellows of Rondine – an effort to further promote this Italian excellence in peacebuilding, hosted for the occasion by the Consul General of Italy in New York
