Global Youth Peace Fest

In an ever-changing and rapidly globalizing world, annual Global Youth Peace Fest-GYPF for the young people aims to highlight the importance of global citizenship, encourage development, an optimistic attitude towards self and society, and propagate a feeling of respect and positive curiosity towards the unfamiliar or misunderstood aspects of our society in an ever-diversifying global context. And in the past 19 year’s GYPF-our annual Global Youth Peace Fest, has now become a breeding ground for inspiring new ideas, beyond forging lasting friendships across cultures. GYPF provides participating delegates a global platform to meet like minded people and youth leaders to network and evolve to build a better world.

VISION: We envision a world where all people are respected equally and protected fully and realized universally. Included in this vision is a world where all young people – regardless of nationality, ethnicity, religion, class, gender or other differences – are encouraged and empowered to non-violently claim their own rights and serve as advocates for the rights of others.

MISSION: We believe there are capable young leaders in every global community, who can become catalysts or ‘Agents of Change’. Bringing these leaders together through digital applications and inspire transformative change is the mission of the annual Global Youth Peace Fest-GYPF and a unique Global Peace Bridge platform.

OBJECTIVES: At GYPF 2024, the organizers would like young people to play a role in every possible element that exists advocacy, policymaking, research, environment, gender sensitization- from every possible angle. GYPF 2024 will bring together young people from diverse backgrounds, religions and nationalities to discuss their experiences and propose solutions for the youths as they foresee their future. This will provide them a platform for increased cross-fertilization of ideas so that they become true global citizens in thinking and action as well as volunteers to co-create a future equal to their vast potential. The organizers assume that the continuity of organizing GYPF will prove infectious and definitely help sprout a similar spirit elsewhere.
