About the Program

In a time of significant global challenges marked by rapid technological change, escalating climate crises, and the ever-present threat of conflict, the Lung Yingtai Cultural Foundation is committed to advancing peace, resilience, and constructive dialogue.

We believe that in times of intense value divides, dialogue is more critical than ever. The pressing question is how to seek common ground amidst differences and find consensus in diversity. Social resilience, we believe, is the bedrock of lasting peace—not just through economic and military strength, but through a sustainable environment, stable resource supply, and the commitment of each citizen.

Peace is a value that must be continually practiced and passed onwards. Through peace education, we aim to enhance society’s awareness, deepen understanding, and strengthen the capacity to safeguard peace, providing future generations with lasting hope and strength.

Who We Are Looking For

Our fellows include peace activists, thought leaders, NGO workers, educators, entrepreneurs, and public service professionals—each united by a commitment to build a more peaceful and sustainable world.

Ideal candidates are those who:

  1. Have hands-on experience in peacebuilding in conflict zones, integrating climate considerations.
  2. Actively promote dialogue and conflict resolution.
  3. Lead NGOs driving social change that addresses both peace and environmental sustainability.
  4. Educate and mentor the next generation of leaders on the intersections of peace, resilience, and climate action.
  5. Improve governance with a focus on social equity and environmental stewardship.
  6. Work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
