Policy Brief #13: Reimagining Peace: Young Peacebuilders and the Future of Peace Practice
Written by Aimee Breslow and Giacomo Castorina Cali, this policy brief examines how young peacebuilders are already responding to this moment by organizing beyond formal institutions, and advancing social and political change through community networks, mutual aid, digital mobilization, protest, peer learning, and transnational solidarity.
Drawing on the experiences and priorities of youth-led organizations within the United Network of Young Peacebuilders (UNOY), the policy brief shows that young people are not disengaged from politics or peacebuilding; rather, they are redefining participation in ways that are more adaptive, intersectional, and grounded in experiential knowledge.
