The youth are our future, and to change anything in our world going forward we must start with this generation of youth, as they're the new agents of change... In peacebuilding and promoting human rights, the youth are no longer a silent majority, but now they should be an active stakeholder... Youth are bringing to the table great contributions to the peace and state building and are shaping the future to be more peaceful, equal, and prosperous for all.
