Youth Voices Driving Action in Mandera North

ERGO International Peace Initiative is currently convening a co-creation workshop under the AU–EU Youth Lab Project, bringing together young people from Mandera North to co-design the Digital Peace and Climate Resilience Academy curriculum.

Through interactive dialogue and collaborative sessions, youth are identifying priority areas and shaping practical modules that strengthen digital skills, advance peacebuilding, and build climate resilience in their communities.

This engagement is reinforcing our participatory approach, ensuring young people are not just beneficiaries, but co-designers of solutions shaping their future.

Together with partners, we are building a youth-led platform for innovation, peace, and resilience in Mandera North.
