About the Next Generation Peacebuilders Video Contest 2018.
The
video contest is an initiative of the Carnegie Foundation Peace
Palace, United Network of Young Peacebuilders and Youth Peace
Initiative. Andrew Carnegie (November 25, 1835 – August 11, 1919) felt
he had an obligation to the society that had offered him so many
chances. He saw many opportunities to create a better world. According
to the philanthropist, science, education and peace were the most
important conditions for progress.
Many young peacebuilders all
around the world are doing their utmost to achieve a better world. UN
Security Council Resolution 2250 recognizes the needs and experiences of
youth in (post-) conflict scenarios. Such a resolution gives
recognition to the work by young peacebuilders and calls for support to
young peacebuilders to be meaningfully involved in issues of peace and
security.
The recently published Progress Study on Youth Peace and
Security further evidences the positive resilience of young people and
their meaningful contribution to building peace in their communities.
The
initiatives of young peacebuilders deserve more acknowledgement and can
inspire and encourage others to start their own project. That’s why the
Carnegie Foundation, the United Network of Young Peacebuilders and
Youth Peace Initiative launch a video contest to highlight best
practices of young peacebuilders.
Show the world how you tackle the following challenges:
- Financing the upside: flexible support for young peacebuilders;
- Promoting meaningful youth participation in formal peace and political transition processes;
- Creating safe and trustful civic spaces for youth to operate in their local contexts.
- Are you a peace builder and between 18 and 29 years old? Then don’t hesitate, grab your mobile or camera and make a video of your work as a peacebuilder! Contestants are judged on their impact and effectiveness in addressing the above three challenges, their creativity, and the degree to which the peace building initiative is youth-led.
