Young Peacebuilders of Turkey

The UN Security Council resolution 2250 which was adopted in 2015 sets out our commitments on peacebuilding by making civic projects which seeks to improve economic development, education, social integration, gender equality, diversity. Our main approach will be to engage youth of different backgrounds by training them to achieve their aspirations, and help them identify opportunities for them to contribute to their communities. Believing that young people have a critical role in the establishment and protection of international peace and security, the Young Peacebuilders of Turkey aims to achieve its goals by facilitating and promoting activities for young people. These activities include: networking, civic education, local and international projects, academic research, field work, discussion panels, conference and workshop activities. We also believe that by ensuring these for the youth to contribute to all aspects of the peace process, this effort will minimize the lack of socioeconomic opportunities for young people and reduce discrimination and marginalization for young people. With youth participation we will be able to contribute and help build a future of freedom, dignity and equality for all.
