Youth, Peace, and Security (YPS) – Engagement and Empowerment Training Course
Introduction
Recognizing that young people are not merely victims of conflict but powerful agents of change, the Youth, Peace, and Security (YPS) Agenda has emerged as a crucial framework for fostering sustainable peace. This 5-day training course on Youth, Peace, and Security – Engagement and Empowerment provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the vital roles young people play in conflict prevention, peacebuilding, and post-conflict recovery. Participants will delve into the normative basis of the YPS agenda, explore innovative approaches for meaningful youth participation, and learn how to design programs that genuinely empower young people to lead peace initiatives and contribute to more inclusive and resilient societies.
This intensive program is designed for policymakers, peacebuilding practitioners, development professionals, humanitarian actors, youth leaders, civil society organizations, and UN staff working in conflict-affected and transitional contexts. It will equip attendees with the knowledge to identify the diverse experiences and needs of young people, challenge prevailing stereotypes, and develop strategies for fostering youth-led peace initiatives. By promoting a deeper understanding of the YPS agenda and its practical application, this course aims to empower participants to create environments where young people's voices are amplified, their rights are protected, and their immense potential for peace is fully realized.
