Just back from Argentina! 🇦🇷 The Americas Youth Peace Summit by @UNOYPeacebuilders & @OAJNU brought us together to advance #YouthPeaceSecurity across 🌎. Check out our latest blog, including insights from CCYPS' Katrina Leclerc (she/elle/ella). More on #Youth4Peace: canadayps.org/post/reporting…
Over the last few months, Plan Int'l Canada's Youth Council has been consulting youth ages 14-24 across 🇨🇦 to gather their recommendations for the #SummitoftheFuture! This led to the creation of the #CanYouthPact 🤝 Read the Pact and sign the petition 👉plancanada.ca/youth

When 🇨🇦 announced drafting #CNAP3, Canadian Coalition for Youth, Peace & Security was still new. But not new enough not to know this was 🗝️ opening for #Youth4Peace in foreign policy. #WPS-#YPS synergy is crucial ➡️ canadayps.org/wps 🙏 to allies (s/o Women, Peace and Security Network - Canada + Jacqueline O'Neill) for believing in us!
Next week I am heading to NYC for the United Nations #SummitoftheFuture along with an incredible youth activist from the Plan Int'l Canada Youth Council! Have you read the #CanYouthPact? plancanada.ca/youth 📣🇨🇦 Are you attending/based in NYC? Let's connect🤝
I’ve often been asked how 🇨🇦 leverages synergies between #WomenPeaceSecurity 🤝 and #YouthPeaceSecurity 🌐. In newest NAP on #WPS, Canada is officially recognizing #Youth4Peace in its foreign policy for the first time. Read Shayne Wong and I's analysis➡️ linkedin.com/pulse/cnap3-wh…
