Culture of Peace in the International Con- gress in 1989 in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast, the African continent has yet to realize this aspiration and continues to be the scene of many conflicts. Some of these hostili- ties are new but many others are protracted disputes that have spanned decades. In- deed some transcend nations, whilst others take place domestically, at local, regional or national levels. These conflicts continue to have devastating and lasting impacts on the lives of millions of citizens, violating their basic human rights and uprooting entire communities from their trusted environment. Organized in alignment with the UNESCO Priority Africa 2014-2021 Strategy and the AU’s Decision in support of this mechanism (24th Session of the Assembly of January 2015), the first edition of the event jointly organized by the Angolan Government, the AU Commission and UNESCO, represents a major step towards, creating a platform to discuss and exchange and to build peace in the minds of people. This event was joined by participants from all over the world, including heads of states, members of governments and civil society organization, private sector, mem- bers from the artistic and scientific communities, academics and international orga- nizations representatives including the UN. They came together for 5 days in Luanda, Angola in September 2019 to share ideas, experiences and knowledge to promote the Culture of Peace. The gathering enabled a rich exchange on how to proceed in the quest for peace and inclusive sustainable development in Africa. This first edition of the Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace, the Luanda Biennale will remain a historic event in many regards. It has enabled Africans and their diaspora, particularly women, youth, strategic actors and entities from all over the world to rally together to show their commitment to the promotion of a Culture of Peace on the African continent and to build the Pan-African Movement for the Culture of Peace and Non-Violence. This report reflects this spirit of Luanda, one of rich debate, experience sharing, inno- vation and partnership, expressed through a wide range of sessions and challenging, frank and robust discussions. The Culture of Peace in Africa is much more than a con- cept; it is the future of the entire continent at stake, underscoring the urgent need to unite forces essential to its development. With this perspective in mind, it is important to mobilize around a common objective: to ensure that the construction of a demo- cratic Africa is based on a sustainable, humanistic, social, cultural and inclusive basis. The Culture of Peace Biennale has become a continent-wide event that contributes directly to the implementation of two goals from the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 16) on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and on Partnerships for Sustainable Development (SDG 17). The initiative also reinforces the 7 Aspirations of the African
