Peace Fellowship
Project details
In times when human rights have been violated all around the world, when people are experiencing different types of violence, facing conflicts, discrimination, racism, violent extremism, homophobia, gender inequality, and rising domestic violence, especially during the pandemic, young people often don’t get the chance to have a say in important decisions. Plus, armed conflicts, divided communities, natural disasters, and climate change threaten our basic rights to life, health, food, and decent living.
In this environment, we believe that there’s also a lot of hope. Peace and human rights education, technology and digital tools, and willingness to bring change and create a better, peaceful future can bring us together and boost community education.
Therefore, we are introducing you to the Peace Fellowship project, our biggest effort, until the present moment, at Youth Peace Ambassadors Network. This project brings together various partner and member organizations of the Youth Peace Ambassadors Network to help them grow stronger and work better together. Throughout this project, we aimed to improve the quality of partnership work and share new ideas through the Peace Fellowship, empowering participants with peace-building tools for their communities.
The Peace Fellowship is a long-long hybrid learning program. It helps partner organizations and Peace Fellows to collaborate, share best practices, and build skills for peaceful transformation.
