In July 2025, youth workers from across Albania gathered to reflect on the YPS Agenda 🇦🇱 They asked: How do we make peace meaningful for young people? Read why local youth workers are essential partners in advancing the YPS Agenda in Albania 🔗 unoy.org/yps-in-alban...

...it starts in spaces where youth workers face realities firsthand"

In Iran, young people are disappearing. The world debates geopolitics. Iranian youth bury their loved ones, while they keep exercising their rights as active citizens, demanding human rights and dignity. Read this article to hear young peacebuilders' lived realities🔗 unoy.org/in-iran-youn...

Do not speak over us. Do not speak for us. Stand with us.

We are not symbols. We are not pawns. We are not statistics. We are students, daughters, sons, workers, artists, organisers.

This International Youth Day we stand with young Palestinians who are enduring the continued brutal attacks on Palestine. Peacebuilders at Ibtikar Palestine are providing traumatised children with a safe space to process emotions, tell their stories & feel heard 📖 Read more unoy.org/puppets-stor...

In Palestine, children face unimaginable horrors, yet they continue to dream, create and resist through hope. As occupation in the West Bank persists and Gaza burns we are reminded that healing is a form of resistance.

Every child and young person has the right to feel safe, to have access to food. To live in peace.
