This Community of Practice (CoP) brings together emerging and established young leaders, peacebuilders, researchers, and activists who are committed to advancing the decolonization of peace and security.

Anchored in a youth-led, Global South-centered perspective, the CoP creates a safe, collaborative, and interdisciplinary space to critically interrogate colonial legacies in current peace and security frameworks and to co-create alternative narratives that are inclusive, just, and rooted in lived realities.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, regions, and experiences -

You don't need to be an expert, you just need to be a changemaker!

✅ Are between 18–35 years old
✅ Have experience or strong interest in peacebuilding, decolonization, international affairs, activism, or related fields
✅ Are open to learning and unlearning in a diverse, youth-led space
✅ Can commit at least 15-20 hours per month to participate in CoP activities (webinars, meetings, content creation, etc.)
