Why Youth4Peace in 2025?
8 May 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the liberation of Germany and Europe from National Socialism. Against this backdrop and in times of new aggression and anti-democratic tendencies in Europe and the World, the question of how young people can campaign for peace and democracy is more important than it has been for a long time. The European peace project, which is based on exchange, encounters and understanding, provides the framework for bringing together young people from different countries and developing concrete strategies for action on what a democratic peace architecture should look like in the future from the perspective of young people. 
As part of the commemoration, ‘Youth4Peace’ focuses on the future of young people in Europe and the world, in which they themselves are actors for peace and democracy.  

 Let’s talk about YOU & Youth4Peace!
