Tabreek Somani’s reflections on the Peace Summit 2016 organized at Aga Khan Academy MombasaThe Peace Summit is an annual event conducted over a period of two days by the DP1 cohort for Year 9.  It is one of the most actively student-driven events at AKA Mombasa.  Preparation for the Peace Summit begins well in advance, with DP1 students starting to work on their modules since August last year.  The main aims of this Peace Summit were to make us believe that peace is possible, empowering us to be leaders, showing us how to work together to resolve conflicts, and devising sustainable solutions to global issues.
