The Academy of Peace promotes communication among youth from different sects and regions located in Baalbeck-Hermel, Lebanon. It uses ICT in order to cross social hurdles that prevent youth from interacting among each other.
More than sixty young citizens form the Academy of Peace. They are grouped and trained in the three LOST centers (Baalbeck - Ein - Beit Shama).

The debates focus on promoting a sense of citizenship and justice and encourage trainees to participate in civic and public life. Participants will be visiting each other to lessen the effect sectarian divide and build better understanding of others.
