Youth for Peace and Conflict Resolution
 

The complexities of youth and adolescence can be overwhelming - not to mention the hypocrisies and injustices of the world around us. Here, youth take action to ensure their generation create an environment of peace and understanding between cultures; locally and internationally. Watch as young Canadians travel to Serbia to share understanding of peace. Travel with youth from Francophone, Anglophone and Mohawk communities, as they cyle 1500km to bridge barriers. Find compassion with the youth of Leave Out ViolencE (LOVE) as they rap about finding a place to speak out, and so much more!
