1. a) If funds were available, what youth activities related to a CoP would you to do as an individual?
The first thing I do will be to organize provide a lecture of culture of peace to my people.
b) What non-financial support do you need to do these activities?
In my case I need materials that facilitate the works specially in regard to communication
c) If funds were available, what youth activities related to a CoP would your organization like to do?
I will focus on Eduction for a Culture of peace
d) What non-financial support does your organization need for CoP activities?
Different publications that teach culture of peace and facility that enable me to translate it to the local language
2. a) What changes in youth policies do you think the government/leadership in your country should make to promote a CoP?
To increase youth involvement in leadership
b) What CoP youth activities/initiatives do you think the UN should do?
To insist the government of member state to increase the youth involvement in leadership.
OPTIONAL QUESTIONS
3.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for improving youth
participation in CoP activities on any levels (UN, government, civil
society)?
Of course, the participation should start from the civil
society but to give a chance for those youth who didn’t get it, I think
UN in collaboration with UNOY should get a means to mobilize all the
youth in the world (for e.g. using all the UNOY members in different
countries)
4. What could be done to improve/ensure transparency and flow of information in promoting the CoP?
I think first all the members who gets the information should pass it to all the existing networks in their countries.
5. To ensure the best possible return of a voluntary fund for youth and CoP, how should it be managed/administered?
6. How can youth not yet involved in CoP activities be reached and motivated?
I think the first step is what I answered for question #4 and secondly it relates with availability of access for information
---------------------------------------------------
The
following responces were taken uring a telephone conversation, and we
may not directly refer to them in our report, however they can be used
towards gaining a general opinion.
1a) I would like, as a
female youth, for there to be room for me to be involved in conflict
resolution and development. I would also like to be able to go into
schools and communities to teach people about peace.
b) Material and equipment for carrying out activities, as well as an office.
c)
To have a youth desk at the African Union so that whenever there is a
conflict between to countries youth are involved in the resolution
process.
We would also like to be able to go to schools,
universities and communities to teach people about youth work and
to get youth involved in peace activities rather than war.
d) An office with communication equipment.
e)
We have a youth policy in our country but we have been trying to get it
revised as it does not involve young people or involve them on a
regional level, it is also not very representative.
Youth should also be involved in conflict resolution and development.
