From Invitation to Ownership: Dismantling Gatekeeping in the Youth, Peace and Security Agenda (Le français suit.) Every August, International Youth Day offers an opportunity to celebrate young people’s contributions to peace, justice, and social change.

On this #InternationalYouthDay, I’m reflecting on what it really means for young peacebuilders to belong in policy spaces.

In the #YouthPeaceSecurity agenda, inclusion is often celebrated, but inclusion alone is not belonging. ⤵️
