DescriptionYOUTH LEADERSHIP AND PEACE BUILDING COURSE FOR YOUTH LEADERS This Programme aims to provide an opportunity for young people of the world to share their ideas and experiences of improving their communities and making a better world. It is a forum for youths to gain new skills, explore issues, work on practical projects, ICT for new life, build new friendship, collaboration and have fun. Another side of the course will involve looking at issues in-depth and sharing information, insights, good practices in conflict resolution, peace- building and a range of development related issues. The main aim of this course is to train youth leaders in the fields of peace, development, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and sustainable development in order to meet the challenges facing youth NGOs/organizations in the 21st century, in either the developed or developing countries.
Methodology The course will be a mixture of lectures, working groups, exercises, and readings/discussions. It will be divided into four main sections related to peace building & governance, ICT for Development, civil society and capacity building and organizational development. Principal concepts, major approaches and activities, and role of governance and civil society will be highlighted. Lectures and discussions will take place in the morning sessions, while parallel workshops will be organized in the afternoon. Lectures will primarily use the case study approach and especially focus on recent peace-building activities of national and international governmental and non-governmental stakeholders worldwide. The overall purpose of the afternoon workshops is to provide practical training in the skills essential to effective and sustainable conflict resolution/organizational development and mutually beneficial relationships. These workshops are also expected to integrate what has been learned in the morning sessions. The workshops will be split into five groups, each focusing on specific problem areas: constitutionalism and legislation, political parties and electoral processes, civil society and organizational development, social policy and gender issues, and peace and security policy as well as ICT policy. The goal of this exercise is to engage in deep analysis of the problems under each topic and make recommendations that are likely to address not only the specific problems, but also to contribute of long-term peace-building in conflict areas. Each group will identify critical problems, describe and analyze their root causes, identify countries with the greatest manifestations of these problems, outline approaches and measures to cause change, specify the necessary conditions of effectiveness by actors (national, regional and international governmental and non-governmental). Public presentation of the integrated report at the end of the course is anticipated. It is anticipated that some evenings will be taken up by participants' presentations on concrete conflict cases.
