Tomorrow's Peace Today: A Youth Workshop

Youth are transcending hierarchical barriers to create global and local change. We’ll cover real life case studies, such as Indonesia, where youth are improving religious freedom, and Jordan, where youth are participating in local governance. Through small group discussion, we’ll talk about why youth involvement matters, how youth have shaped a global agenda, and the movement around the role they play in peace and security.

Facilitated by I-GMAP Visiting Practitioner Saji Prelis, who has over 25 years of experience working on intergenerational peacebuilding in over 35 countries. As Co-Chair, Global Coalition on Youth, Peace and Security, he co-led successful advocacy for the UN Security Council Resolution 2250, Res 2419, and Res 2535.

Saji is the Director of Children & Youth Programs at Search for Common Ground. He received the distinguished Luxembourg Peace Prize and obtained his Master’s Degree in International Peace & Conflict Resolution from American University in Washington, DC.
