Policy Paper: Towards a culture of peace in the Middle-East, the role of youth organisations
The European Youth Forum (YFJ) has been actively involved at the global level, promoting the values of peace, Human Rights and solidarity in partnerships with institutions, but also with regional youth platforms. The development of sustainable, independent, inclusive and democratic youth NGOs has always been a core element of the YFJ's activity, along with its advocacy work, in order to gain political recognition from public authorities for such youth organisations and the role they play in society.
