With a current global paradigm of seemingly endless conflict, the peace building process can sometimes feel like a faint light on the horizon. For young people, the anxiety arising from the constant rhetoric of violence and war around the world, along with a lack of places to look for real leadership, can be overwhelming. But we know the global youth are capable of challenging this paradigm.  We are confident that the global youth can become the leaders the world needs to move towards peace known to all and not just the privileged. As educators you have the resources to help foster the leaders and changemakers not only of tomorrow, but of right now.

At Humanitarian Affairs Asia, we believe that when young people are equipped with the right skills, knowledge and resources, they stand the chance to champion positive social change. By attending the Peace Summit, students will gain the role as a Humanitarian Affairs Peace Ambassador, committing themselves to take action and lead the way forward for other young people by standing up to the challenge of contributing to global peace.
