Bridging Generations: Dialogue as a Tool for Peacebuilding

Amideast-Utah State University Virtual Exchange Spring 2026

What if the silence in your family is not peace, but distance? In this episode, the team behind Voices of Hope explores how generational divides shaped by fear, lived experience, religion, and social media affect communication across cultures. Through conversations with elders and youth from Yemen and the United States, we reflect on how different generations experience conflict and understanding in everyday life. A common theme emerges: many families settle for negative peace by choosing silence to avoid conflict. By bringing these voices together, we invite listeners to reflect on their own relationships and consider how honest dialogue can turn misunderstanding into connection.
