Yes, it is. My organisation is a network of youth organisation, led by youth or concerning you.
1. INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL ACTIVITIES
a) If funds were available, what youth activities related to a culture of peace (CoP) would you like to do as an individual?

would like to organise forums where the youth is introduced with the
many cultures of my country, along with the many cultures of conflict
resolution.

c) If funds were available, what youth activities related to a CoP would your organization like to do?
d) What non-financial support would your organization need to do these activities?
2. SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENT AND THE UN
a) What changes in youth policies do you think the government/leadership in your country should make to promote a CoP?
The
government should have policies that include the youth in its
decisions. It should also promote such policies so that they youth
know, and so they will act accordingly.
b) What CoP youth activities do you think the UN should carry out?
The
UN should have youth cultural centers in many countries. It should also
incourage the youth to make researches about peace in their culture,
which would in a way set a precedent to the coming generation.
3.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for improving youth
participation in CoP activities on any level (UN, government, civil
society)? The first suggestion i have is for the UN to promote the CoP
and UNYO. And then having the youth do researches or express themselves
in any way they would like (painting, writing....) and have contests on
that.
4. What could be done to improve/ensure transparency and flow of information in promoting the CoP?
5. To ensure the best possible benefit of a UN Voluntary Fund for youth on the CoP, how should it be managed/administered?
It
should be administered by the youth themselves. There should be some
sort of panel of youth from all over the world that all the youth
organisations, that have received funding, to be accountable to.
6. How can youth not yet involved in CoP activities be reached and motivated to get involved?
By using many medias, not just the internet but printed media as well.
