Interpeace's 2017 Annual Report, "Youth at the center of peacebuilding", illustrates our work with youth groups around the world to try to better understand their needs and aspirations, what drives some young people to violence, and what strategies can be developed to harness their capacities for driving positive change in their communities. It is vital that we stop fearing or underestimating young people and start acknowledging them as partners in the development of society.
