As the Peace Process continues to make progress, it is vital that everyone, young and old, is able to have a part. What are our volunteers doing to ensure this happens? KI Alumni and current volunteers have been helping with community consultations across the region about the recent peace agreement between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a leading rebel group fighting for independence. Such consultations are vital to ensure that agreements reached at the political level are sustainable and supported within the communities affected by violence.
Our current volunteers, from Batch Hayat, organized a day for youth awareness at a high school in Marawi City. 257 students attended the event, held in July with the theme "Education and Advocacy for youth in the Philippines". They spent the day learning and talking about the current situation in the Peace Process.
Young people represent a critical constituency for ensuring a successful peace process. Its so important that youth become an integral part of local and national governance in order to strengthen their commitment to and understanding of the issues of peacebuilding and conflict resolution.
