Background
 
Youth for Peace founded Young Leaders for Peace as a project aimed at promoting youth as peaceful agents of social change. In December 2012, YFP will be completing the implementation of the project of a 3 year contract for Young Leaders for Peace.  The project targets stakeholders in Phnom Penh, Battambang and Takeo. Project work involves capacity building, personal development, teaching peace concepts, promoting teambuilding, leadership and organization of skills through peace development curricula. It is a one year training program which comprises theory and practice in community base for young people. YFP trainers use participatory methodology to help students learn to work cooperatively in groups, express their ideas in front of others, develop listening skills, understand their individual rights and responsibilities, and recognize and appreciate different values and beliefs.

Most never joined the Revolution of their own accord - they were conscripted as young adolescents into the military, "the absolute tool of Angkar", it was called. 

The past 10 years of our work paved the way for a bright future of Youth for Peace. The lessons from our successes, failures, and encountered challenges are significant steps in moving forward to a peaceful and promising future. In the next 10 years, YFP as well as the new initiative of the Peace Institute of Cambodia will continue its fi rm mission to make remarkable changes in the grass-root communities as well as in the Cambodian society as a whole. We hope that an increasing number of young people will continue to engage in peaceful solutions to social conflicts and participate in a sustainable social development which brings about a culture of peace and a culture of democracy.

On December 16, the second Public Forum organized by Youth for Peace on ‘Youth Participation for Justice and Reconciliation’ took place at Pratak Krala Dam, Bosnhinh Village, Kon Sat Commune, Toek Chhou District in Kampot Province.
