Global Consultation on Youth and Peacebuilding

I am glad to have contributed in the global conversation between practitioners and academics to explore the different, innovative ways in which local young peacebuilders are advancing youth inclusion in political and peacebuilding processes in their contexts. 

This was made possible by PeaceDirect and United Network of Young (UNOY) Peacebuilders, whom convened us through an online consultation (8-10 April, 2019) to broaden the conversation on this topic.
