Youth in the Decolonization of International Peace & Security
The Community of Practice brings together emerging and established young leaders, peacebuilders, researchers, and activists who are passionate about advancing the decolonization of peace and security.
Anchored in a youth-led, Global South-centered perspective, the CoP offers a safe, collaborative, and interdisciplinary space to critically interrogate colonial legacies within peace and security frameworks and co-create alternative narratives that are inclusive, just, and rooted in lived realities.
