Conflict Analysis & Sensitivity In Children & Youth Programming

The Youth Cafe is inviting you to join M&E Thursday Talk of 2021 on Thursday, January 21st, at 10 am EDT, as Solvi Karlsson and Julian Niankoye Bolamou, of Search for Common Ground, lead a discussion on “Conflict Analysis and Sensitivity in Children and Youth Programming.”

Over 408 young people around the world live in contexts of violence and conflict. They often bear the brunt of violence, but at the same time they also often lead efforts for peace. Organizations working with young people in conflict-affected settings need to consider the interplay between their intended interventions, young people, and the specific conflict context. 

Gathered from years of experience, Sölvi and Julien will share practical tips to help you design initiatives that are both conflict- and youth- sensitive. They will also explore real-world examples from Search’s youth-focused programming and good practices from across the peacebuilding field.

The Youth Café is actively involved in peace-building activities and conversations in Africa and the globe. The Youth Café, as a youth-led and youth-serving organization committed to the goal of peace and security based on its work in various related topics, is delighted to be part of the Coalition.
