Beyond Skin #Youth4Peace - Global Youth Rising
Empowering passionate activists and peace workers from around the world
Belfast singer/songwriter and Beyond Skin #youth4peace ambassador Danielle Carragher will be representing Northern Ireland at the Global Youth Rising 2016 summit in Romania 10th – 20th July. Danielle also known as Dani to her friends and within the NI music sector has been working with Beyond Skin since 2015 co-facilitating workshops.
GYR 2016 is 10 days of intensive trainings, discussions, workshops and practical strategic planning with some of the leading organisations, activists, trainers and practitioners in the world covering peacebuilding, conflict transformation, youth participation and empowerment.
The aim is to empower the global movement of youth and citizens involved in peacebuilding with the skills, experience, alliances and networks to help us achieve real and effective impact.
GYR 2016 is being organised by an incredible alliance of organisations dedicated to the empowerment, leadership and participation of youth, and to tackling the most challenging conflicts and drivers of war and violence in the world, including the United Network of Young Peacebuilders (UNOY) of which Beyond Skin are the Northern Ireland representatives leading the Youth4Peace Campaign
#Youth4Peace
On 9 December 2015, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security. This historical document is the first of its kind to recognize the positive role young people play in building sustainable peace and to lay out the need for governments and other stakeholders to support young people in this role.
The next step is to ensure that this resolution becomes a reality.
As part of the Northern Ireland youth4peace strategy Beyond Skin are identifying and empowering Youth4Peace ambassadors which involve them representing Northern Ireland at peacebuilding and youth events around the world.
They will also be active in Northern Ireland organising artistic activities to promote the campaign.
