Applications are now open for the Carnegie Youth Peace Prize 2023 . Submit a video of your peace initiative and be in with a chance of becoming the next Peace Palace Youth Ambassador! The video competition is a collaborative initiative of the Youth Peace Initiative and the Carnegie Foundation - Peace Palace.
Many young people around the world are working tirelessly to build and sustain peace in their communities. UN Security Council Resolution 2250 recognises the needs and experiences of young people in (post-)conflict settings. The resolution has long positively recognised the contributions of young people to peace and security, calling for the inclusion and participation of young people in peace and security issues. The policy document published in 2019 "We Are Here" explores youth participation in peace processes through the lens of young people themselves and calls for greater recognition of young peacebuilders, whose initiatives can inspire and encourage others to start their own project. For these reasons,
Show the world how your initiative contributes to peace and how it can inspire others to become active agents of positive change: Are you a peacebuilder aged between 18 and 29? Then don't hesitate, grab your mobile phone or camera and make a video of your work as a peacebuilder!
