Peace = Future, the math is easy


Youth for Peace and Development

In commemoration of 2010 as the International Year of Youth: Dialogue and Mutual Understanding

This year, the International Day of Peace (21 September) falls within the same time period as a major summit on the UN Millennium Development Goals, the world’s largest anti-poverty campaign. The Summit brings world leaders together at the United Nations in New York from 20 - 22 September.

The United Nations is looking for stories from young people around the world who are working for peace.

Send your stories to Anna Fritzsche at ousg-dpi@un.org and Eleonore Kopera at kopera@un.org.

Youth, peace and development are closely interlinked:

·Peace enables development, which is critical in providing opportunities for young people, particularly those in countries emerging from conflict.

·Healthy, educated youth are in turn crucial to sustainable development and peace.

·Peace, stability and security are essential to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, aimed at slashing poverty, hunger, disease, and maternal and child death by 2015.
