The National Youth Summit and Peace Integration Conference was conducted by Ministry of Defense, Pakistan for the integration of youth and getting to know different cultures in Pakistan. Once we were done with all the processes, we packed our bags and started the journey. The three of us, Warda, Nisha and Usman, represented the LUMS Culture Society (LCS) there. We were introduced to other society representatives like IEEE and EMS by our director, Huzaifa, so that we could mingle with them.
