EWI endorsed the formation of a global media leaders group to promote media responsibility in tackling issues of international peace and security.

Staff members and associates from the EWI recently attended a conference entitled "Responsibility to the Future: Business, Peace, and Sustainability." The conference, organized by the Strategic Foresight Group (SFG) in Mumbai, India, and co-hosted by the UN Global Compact, included a panel that EWI helped to organize on the role of the media in crisis prevention, peace, and intercultural understanding. EWI was able to introduce its concept of a global media leaders group to a diverse audience (over 100 foreign participants were in attendance) and engage in a fruitful discussion on the importance of media responsibility in tackling pressing issues of international peace and security, particulary violent extremism.
