To Be Taken At (Country): The Hague, The Netherlands.
About the Award: Many young people from all around the world are working relentlessly to build and sustain peace in their communities. UN Security Council Resolution 2250 recognizes the needs and experiences of youth in (post-)conflict scenarios. The resolution gives the long due positive recognition of young people’s contributions to peace and security, calling for the meaningful inclusion and participation of young people in issues of peace and security. The 2019 published policy paper “We Are Here” explores youth participation in peace processes through the lens of young people themselves and calls for increased acknowledgement of young peacebuilders, whose initiatives can inspire and encourage others to start their own project. For these reasons, the Youth Peace Initiative and the Carnegie Foundation are launching a video contest to raise awareness about the findings and recommendations of the policy paper and to highlight best practices of young peacebuilders.
