Our network
peace powered by youth
We are a network of youth organisations united around the vision of a world free from violence, where:
- young people have the power to transform conflict;
- youth participation is real and meaningful for all;
- young people actively partner for peace without fear or threat.
Highlights
Through our projects, we strengthen the capacities, skills, and knowledge of UNOY members to advance peace in their communities. Check out some of the key activities that we’ve been working on over the past few years.
