UNESCO MGIEP's Youth Waging Peace (YWP) Ambassadors

Call for UNESCO MGIEP's Youth Waging Peace (YWP) Ambassadors (valid for India-based participants / Indian nationals only)

THE CALL: Join us to help build a more peaceful community for you!

ABOUT: UNESCO MGIEP is building a community of peace ambassadors. We'd love to empower young people like you to build peace in your communities by cultivating and practising skills of empathy, mindfulness, compassion and critical inquiry. All this while contributing to Youth, Peace & Security Agenda, SDG 4 and 16 on education and building peace.

A YWP Ambassador is a person who fundamentally believes in peace and works actively to achieve it. You could be a student, a peace activist, a volunteer at an NGO, an academic, or a corporate employee, between 18-35 years or more. If this sounds like you - apply now! Share with us your ideas to build a peaceful community - be it your workplace, your city, the area where you live, or even your university.
