Peace-building Initiative
Established in 2019, the Peacebuilding Initiative aims to elevate the role of the youth in the field. The vision of the co-founders is to better address the challenges of peacebuilding by integrating the youth and young professionals in the international community to play a more effective role in supporting peacebuilding efforts around the world.
We seek to champion a comprehensive and collaborative approach by advancing intergenerational dialogue across sectors and borders. At the heart of our work lies the conviction that when the role of the youth in building peace is acknowledged and mobilized, we may better meet the issues of today.

TO FILL
Our Mission
In pursuit of its vision, the Initiative is embodied by three pillars. (1) First, we strive to deliver authoritative information from youth perspectives on issues relating to the field. As follows, we endeavour to become the entry point for organizations and professionals to enlist the youth as partners in peacebuilding processes. (2) Second, the Initiative will provide a network to facilitate the connection between the youth and young professionals. The aim of the network is to co-create structures for youth participation in formal and informal peacebuilding processes. (3) Third, we seek to stimulate interest and awareness by co-creating a space for learning as well as knowledge-sharing. By generating a broader awareness towards peacebuilding and peace processes across regions, we hope to add value to the field by taking a critical approach to current research and policy approaches.
To this end, we offer a space where students, young professionals, and interns may be elevated as full partners within the current peacebuilding architecture in Geneva and worldwide.
