About This Project

 Our Next Step:


"Youth Standing Together as One"- The Global Unites Summit was the launching point in creating a network of young peacebuilders, and
now the work begins. GU aims to support projects and initiatives developed by the young leaders at the Summit.



Summit Synopsis


The Global Unites Summit was graced by  some exceptional and inspirational leaders from
15 countries;


Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, El Salvador, Israel, Kenya, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Palestine, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.


We are inspired by the potential and the power youth can offer to be part of the solution in transforming conflict in their nations. We are confident that their leadership, perseverance and unity can bring hope to their communities. They represent a new
generation of peace builders who refuse to let violent extremism, injustice, prejudice and inequality be an accepted norm but work together for change and transformation. We want to thank all those who made this summit possible and look forward to journey
ahead. This is just the beginning. We have just embarked on this journey and the best is yet to come.



 


Global Unites currently has two country chapters, with plans to grow that number within the next five years. Please check out the SLU and CU websites hyperlinked below.
