Great work PeaceJam Uganda Team.

PeaceJam Uganda has organized an incredible youth workshop which will haopen on Sunday, 12 April 2026 at Kireka Recreation Park, Kampala! 🌿✨

This gathering will bring together members of the Youth Leadership Team, Core Team, volunteers, and prospective PeaceJam Mentors for a relaxed, interactive space to connect, share ideas, get to know one another and concretize activity plans for 2026.

Under the theme “Unmute the Youth! Your Voice. Your Space. Your Moment”, the workshop will focus on encouraging young people to own their voices, step into civic action, and build radical courage in the face of challenges in their communities and the world.

We can’t wait to meet, reflect, and plan a year of meaningful engagement and youth-led change! 💬🌍
