Why they need our serviceYoung people are not just the future, they are the present. Today almost half of the world's population under the age of 24. By offering young people a possibility to take part in shaping their own futures, young people can be at the front line of peacebuilding. Beyond Skin are leading the #Youth4Peace campaign in N. Ireland to ensure UN Resolution 2250 n on Youth, Peace and Security is implemented. A Youth steering group has been set up to develop the campaign through creative projects.
