Welcome to the third in a series of Youth4Peace E-consultations, which aim to gather inputs by young people and other stakeholders on a broad range of topics connected to the role of young people in sustaining peace, and the UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on youth, peace and security.

From 19 May to 8 June 2017, we will be focusing on youth political participation for peaceful and inclusive societies
