NYPS Series
The National Youth Peace Summit Series operates on the principle that sustainable peace requires the active participation and leadership of young people.
By engaging youth from diverse backgrounds, including different ethnicities, religions, and socio-economic statuses, the summit series promotes inclusivity and fosters understanding among Nigeria's future leaders.
Through open dialogue and respectful exchange, participants learn to appreciate the richness of Nigeria's cultural diversity and develop empathy and solidarity with communities facing marginalization or discrimination.
The National Youth Peace Summit Series emphasizes the importance of education and skill-building as pathways to peace and development. Workshops and training sessions cover topics such as conflict analysis, nonviolent communication, project management, and advocacy techniques, equipping participants with the tools they need to initiate positive change in their communities. By investing in the capacity-building of young leaders, the summit series strengthens the resilience of communities to withstand and overcome the challenges of violence and instability.
The summit series also leverages technology and digital platforms to amplify its impact and reach a wider audience. Through social media campaigns, virtual events, and online resources, the summit series engages young people beyond the confines of physical gatherings, enabling them to participate remotely and stay connected year-round. This digital presence not only enhances the accessibility and inclusivity of the summit series but also empowers young people to harness the power of technology for social change and activism.
Furthermore, the National Youth Peace Summit Series serves as a catalyst for cross-sectoral collaboration and partnership-building. By bringing together stakeholders from government, academia, civil society, and the private sector, the summit series creates opportunities for synergies and joint initiatives that address complex peace and development challenges holistically.
