USIP Program to Build Bridges Between International Leaders and Youth Peacebuilders (Fully Funded)

Deadline: 20 May 2018

Program Dates

19 to 27 October, 2018

The U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) has partnered with His Holiness the Dalai Lama to invite applicants for its program with an aim to build bridges between international leaders and youth peacebuilders.

In support of UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security, this partnership will create a space where constructive, intergenerational conversations can occur that begin to lessen the divides separating the work of youth leaders and more traditional leaders.

The program will bring a group of youth peacebuilders to Dharamsala for two days of conversation with the Dalai Lama to discuss ways in which youth can partner with international leaders to build peace. Selected youth will come from some of the world’s most conflict-ridden areas.




In Dharamsala, the youth leaders will share their experiences and will discuss with His Holiness ways in which youth leaders and world leaders can cooperatively build peace.

The very engagement of youth with His Holiness will serve as a model for the youth on how to bridge intergenerational divides. The conversation in Dharamsala will provide a platform for greater international advocacy for youth priorities in peace and security and will expand the global impact of youth leaders.

Note:

Selected participants would be notified by email by June 10, 2018. If you are not notified by this time, you have not been selected.
