The Third International
Youth Leadership Program
August 1-8, 2004
In support of the African contribution for
the worldwide movement to build a culture of peace and
non-violence for the children of the world, The Education for Peace Globalnet held its continental
meeting for Africa in conjunction with the program presented
August 1-8 by Apeadu Peace Center in partnership with
Children-of-the-Earth and the Office of the Special
Representative to the Secretary of the UN for Children and
Armed Conflict.
The Third Annual International Youth
Leadership Conference at Apeadu Peace Center formalized the APATAFO PEACEBUILDER PROGRAM. Seventy youth activists from many countries,
including Australia, Pakistan, Israel, Liberia, Togo, and
Nigeria, came to learn leadership skills for developing a
culture of peace through nonviolence and conflict
transformation. Unified in the desire to understand and
find solutions to problems confronting humanity, they worked
with adult representatives of sponsoring organizations to
co-create a foundation for extended effective peace-building.
The Apatafo
Peacebuilder Manual is a
record of their work here --a blue-print of a viable foundation
for building peace around the world.
