Young Peacebuilders

Description

• Led by Dr Michael McGill, PhD, Young Peacebuilders offers advanced expertise and capacity for developing child and youth peacebuilding related: 1) partnerships, 2) training, 3) research, and 4) products.Far too many of our worlds children grow up amidst great violence and poverty. Over 90% of children live in Majority World (developing) nations. Nearly 80% of the poorest nations have experienced a major civil war in their recent past and some have over half of their population younger than 18. Countries with a high percentage of young people have a much higher risk of terrorism, war, and other violence than older nations. Children in these contexts suffer incredibly from sexual exploitation, disease, and loss of education, families and futures, and children represent half of war casualties. Young Peacebuilders believes that young people provide hope for a more peaceful and prosperous future. In places primed for violence, great changes in thinking and acting are needed. Its wise to invest in those most likely to change their thoughts and actionsthe children and youth. The youthfulness of high-risk contexts represents a great opportunity. However, to seize this opportunity we must invest in supporting young people as engaged citizens and devoted peacebuilders. Together, it can be done and is worth the cost.Follow us on our other social media platforms:Facebook http://bit.ly/29lwON1Twitter http://bit.ly/29rAZbHYouTube http://bit.ly/29mgRaeInstagram http://bit.ly/29rAJcGGoogle+ http://bit.ly/29T89kr
