In the absence of meaningful opportunities to participate socially, politically and economically, marginalized young people are strikingly creative in forging alternative places of belonging and meaning through which to express themselves. #Youth4Peace

The main strength is that we are youth-led. Young members decide how,in what way, where and when to organize certain projects. They brainstorm ideas&they are in charge of everything. These young members meet with sponsors&they negotiate wth them. #Youth4Peace

We, the youths, are dreamers, entrepreneurs. We are victims, of course, too, and we cannot change that. But we are also everything else. #Youth4Peace

We've got to do it, otherwise no one will do it. If we don’t engage with youth, we’re losing more of them to the battlefields. #Youth4Peace

Young peacebuilders who are working in the conflict-affected areas are risking their lives and working for peace. There should be a mechanism for the safety of young peacebuilders. #Youth4Peace

Take youth's participation and views into account in decision-making processes, from negotiation and prevention of violence to peace agreements. #Youth4Peace
