🌍 International Youth Day 🌍
PHRGOn this International Youth Day, we celebrate the young women and men who are helping build more peaceful, connected, and inclusive communities.
Through the PathwaystoPeace.iraq project, we have witnessed young people take an active role in strengthening social cohesion, fostering dialogue, promoting understanding, and bringing communities together. Their commitment, creativity, and willingness to engage across differences show the vital role that youth play in building lasting peace.
We are also proud to support youth groups and civil society organisations as they turn their ideas into action through financial support, enabling local initiatives that promote peacebuilding, community engagement, and positive change.
🌟 Today, we recognise the young people, youth groups, and civil society organisations who continue to invest their time and energy in making their communities more connected and inclusive. Their work demonstrates the important role local initiatives can play in strengthening trust, dialogue, and social cohesion. 🌟
🎉 Happy International Youth Day.
Pathways to Peace is led by People in Need Iraq , in collaboration with Women Empowerment Organization as the implementing partner, and funded by the European Union (EU).
