1. a) If funds were available, what youth activities related to a CoP would you like to do as an individual?
I
would like to advocate to initiate some training courses on the culture
of peace especially on the training on the life-skills of conflict
resolution for the youth to deal with every day conflicts they are
facing. I can also write articles on this topic.
b) What non-financial support do you need to do these activities?
I need the resource persons who can teach the students tools of dealing with conflicts and relevant literatures.
c) If funds were available, what youth activities related to a CoP would your organization like to do?
We can run some training courses or organize lectures or seminars on the culture of peace.
d) What non-financial support does your organization need for CoP activities?
The same as I mentioned above.
2. a) What changes in youth policies do you think the government/leadership in your country should make to promote a CoP?
To raise the awareness on the concept of culture of peace.
b) What CoP youth activities/initiatives do you think the UN should do?
The
UN should continue to attach importance to the decade campaign and
provide sufficient resources to keep the momentum. The campaign for CoP
and MDGs and Prevention on Armed Conflict should support and coordinate
with each other instead of competing with each other.

participation in CoP activities on any levels (UN, government, civil

More media coverage is needed for CoP.

support projects on CoP on individual bases with the evaluation after

Dear Mayumi,
Nice
to talk to you the other day. I am sorry to reply so late as I was out
for business after our talk and have not found time to make the answer
so far.
I am interested in the concept of culture of peace and
feel it is an important concept given the current world situation.I
also feel very sorry as it seems that the second half of the decade for
a culture of peace is not so much advocated by the UN, governments and
the civil society. Only some civil societies are still pushing forward
the movement. So it is of great significance to creat a UN youth fund
for CoP to further promote the movement. Please keep me informed of the
process and wish you a great
success.
With best regards,
Chen Huaifan
Director, General Office, CPAPD
