OVER THE YEARS, PEACE ADVOCATES HAVE CHALLENGED THIS CONVENTIONAL VIEW OF PEACE AND HAVE DECLARED THAT “PEACE IS NOT SIMPLY A LACK OF WAR OR NONVIOLENCE; PEACE MEANS THE ERADICATION OF ALL FACETS OF INJUSTICE”, (CHENG AND KURTZ, 1998)

- CREATE SPACES FOR YOUTHS TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS — AND LISTEN TO THEM
- ENHANCE THE PEACE-BUILDING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF YOUNG PEOPLE
- BUILD TRUST BETWEEN YOUTHS AND GOVERNMENTS
- PROMOTE INTERGENERATIONAL EXCHANGE
- STRENGTHEN MONITORING AND EVALUATION
- SUPPORT YOUTHS WHO ARE POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR COMMUNITIES
The creation of spaces for youth to express their opinion to decision-makers and broader society ensures that they have the opportunity to be heard.
- CREATE SPACES FOR YOUTHS TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS — AND LISTEN TO THEM
Rather than simply acknowledging them as victims or perpetrators of violence, it’s vital to engage youths as social actors with their own views and contributions.
- CREATE SPACES FOR YOUTHS TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS — AND LISTEN TO THEM
In practice, this can be done by encouraging both youth and adults — parents, teachers, nonprofit workers, or community and religious leaders — to support the formation of youth groups that offer young people a chance to formulate their opinions.
- CREATE SPACES FOR YOUTHS TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS — AND LISTEN TO THEM
Information and communication technology such as UNICEF’s U-report — a free SMS-based platform through which youths can express their views on what is happening in their communities — also offer some promising spaces of expression for meaningful youth participation in peace building.
- CREATE SPACES FOR YOUTHS TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS — AND LISTEN TO THEM
Although most young peace builders create positive impact with minimal resources, it’s important to provide them with the tools they need to become more effective change-makers.
- ENHANCE THE PEACE-BUILDING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF YOUNG PEOPLE
In concrete terms, this means giving them access to the teachers, facilitators, educational programs and networks that can hone their conflict resolution and leadership skills.
- ENHANCE THE PEACE-BUILDING KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF YOUNG PEOPLE
“Training opportunities can range from content-based topics such as conflict or gender to more practical-focused areas such as advocacy or project management,” Dylan Jones, project and gender officer at UNOY Peacebuilders underlined. “By facilitating youth connecting on individual and organizational levels, ideas, challenges and best practices can be organically shared.”
