• From 20 to 25 September 2007, Youth for Peace held its second Peace Conference, with the topic “The role of youth in peace building”. During the five days of this conference, we aimed to motivate and empower youth to explore the roles they can play in developing their society, and to stimulate youth to play an active role in peace building and building good relationships in their communities. We believe that this conference has achieved that goal, as youth has gained more knowledge about key elements of peace building; youth showed their talents through the workshops, and the cultural shows; youth built good relationships with each other, despite differences in background and religion; and youth have more ideas about the roles that they can play in their community and society, which has become concrete through the many action plans that they have prepared for social action. Please read the attached report for details.
