The “Youth-led Peace Dialogue Initiatives” through Youth Peace Ambassadors aims to promote and support the role of young people in peace-building activities that contribute to living together in dignity and dialogue. The project is the result of a needs assessment done by the YCDF and builds upon the contribution and perspective that youth work and youth programme can bring to peace-building processes in Ethiopia, especially through its preventive and educational nature. Central to the project are the concepts of Human Rights, Peace, and “Deep Security”, understood as long-term and deep-rooted processes ensuring equality in dignity for all, fostering intercultural dialogue, and providing real access to and participation in the democratic process in Ethiopia.
