Youth Peace Initiative

About the organization

The Youth Peace Initiative is a Dutch initiative set up by young professionals in order to foster the participation of future generations in peace negotiations throughout the world. (YPI) was founded to give youth in conflict areas a chance to participate in peace processes. While people across the world are divided, younger generations are often not included in the efforts to shape their shared future. Therefore, the founding interest of YPI has been to include younger generations in the decisions of the present which affect their future, in order to create or maintain a sustainable peace.
