UNOY Peacebuilders 21 September 2008 The Hague, Netherlands Peace Day will focus on a campaign in The Hague where the issue of violence against children and youth will be discussed with passers by. Children will have the opportunity to make a statement on the issue by leaving behind a symbolic handprint to give peace a helping hand. UNOY Peacebuilders believes in the potential of youth and explores new ways to educate and empower youth. In light of the Violence Against Children and Youth campaign, we decided to celebrate the International Day of Peace in a very fit and inspiring way by placing youth at the forefront. The United Network of Young Peacebuilders (UNOY Peacebuilders) is a global network of 34 youth peace organizations active in the field of peacebuilding and conflict transformation. These member organizations, based in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia, are key actors in keeping the network alive. In 2007, we organised a number of successful trainings and hundreds of youth from all over the world have learnt more about peacebuilding and the importance of youth in peacebuilding.
