Two following debates are planned for the second day of the Summit: "Unheard Voices. Inequalities in Social Justice" and "Human Rights: Old and New Threats". On 23rd of October Peace Prize winners will talk about problems connected with peace and reconciliation on following sessions: "Solidarity and Reconciliation: No More Wars" and "Solidarity of the Youth - Stand up for Peace".
