ERASMUS+ WORLDWIDE:

GLOBAL DIALOGUE ON youth participation & peace

Expand your network – join a global community of youth experts and peace-builders.

Following the adoption of the UN Security Council Resolution 2250 and the Youth, Peace and Security Agenda, heavily advocated for by many youth-led organisations, there has been a political momentum to mainstream youth participation in the policy and decision making.

Our initiative focuses on cooperation in the field of Youth between Europe, Asia and Africa.
