What is Shaping Peace & Security?

The ‘Shaping Peace & Security’ initiative is a cooperation between the Global Shapers Hubs in Heidelberg, Hamburg, Berlin, Lugano (CH) and Vienna (A). Together, they are committed to bringing the perspectives of young people more strongly into discussions and decisions on peace and security. Young people should be not only included, but actively involved in shaping sustainable and inclusive solutions.

The initiative works closely with youth organisations such as YAC and YATA, which are active in the field of peacebuilding and security policy. The initiative is also supported by the UN Youth Delegates and the Munich Security Conference (MSC). This gives young people important access to international platforms and decision-making processes.
