YOUNG PEOPLE AT THE FOREFRONT OF GLOBAL PEACEBUILDING
In the face of new global challenges and threats to peace, young people often feel they lack resources and experience in the development of peace efforts. The exposure to notions of instability, war, conflict, human rights violations and terror can create immense anxiety and a feeling of overwhelm and defeat. Today, the antagonist to peace can also be of a more silent, invisible and structural character, making its immediate impact hidden. Yet the consequences of these hidden threats can be as big as the ones carrying explosives and warbanners. New risks bring about new challenges, but even in the most challenging of times, there is hope that revolutionary solutions can emerge. Young people offer innovative perspectives that can help solve some of our greatest global challenges. When it comes to peace, young people hold strong leadership potential and play an important role in the future of peacebuilding. But helping your students to gain the adequate knowledge and confidence to champion social change at a global level can feel like a huge responsibility. As an educator, and as a leader and mentor for young people, you might be looking for the right resources and platforms to send your students towards. The global youth are seeking your guidance and dedication to fuel their energy.
