2025 International Youth Peace Conference

Sharing Progress and Strategies of YEPW Worldwide

The “2025 International Youth Peace Conference” is a forum for international cooperation where young people from around the world design peace activities in their respective countries and regions and share implementation strategies. This conference introduces the impact that youth-led peace activities have had on each country and cases that have developed through cooperation with civil society, governments, and international organizations, while reflecting on the achievements since the launch of the Youth Engagement & Peacebuilding Working Group (YEPW).

The conference will also present five YEPW activity models (Policy Advocacy, Volunteering, Training, Public Awareness, Creative Collaboration) as development and expansion strategies for regional peace projects, and present actual case studies including DPCW resolution adoption (Policy Advocacy), outstanding service campaigns (Volunteering), and national-level youth peace education (Training).

Furthermore, through photo exhibitions and performances featuring YEPW activities from various countries, participants will directly experience the vibrant peace activities of young people and gain inspiration that can be applied to future peace activities.
