Empowering Youth for Peace, Inclusion, and Sustainable Change
🔹 About the Initiative
Global Youth in Action is CDA’s platform to highlight and support youth-led initiatives that promote peacebuilding, intercultural dialogue, digital literacy, and global citizenship. In collaboration with international organizations like UNESCO, IFAD, WHO, and others, this initiative strengthens the voice, agency, and leadership of young people across the world.
We believe youth are not just beneficiaries, but co-creators of solutions for global challenges.
🔹 Our Key Focus Areas
✦ Intercultural Dialogue & Tolerance
We foster understanding across cultures, religions, and backgrounds through dialogue forums, art-based campaigns, and exchange programs.
✦ Youth Peacebuilding & Conflict Resolution
We train and mobilize young peacebuilders to mediate conflicts, reduce violence, and build resilient communities.
✦ Media & Digital Literacy
Through bootcamps and training, we empower youth to responsibly engage with digital media, combat misinformation, and promote ethical online behavior.
✦ Global Citizenship & SDGs
We equip youth with the tools to become active global citizens, addressing issues like climate change, education, gender equity, and human rights.
✦ Creative Expression for Change
We support films, theatre, music, and visual arts projects led by youth to promote social cohesion and peaceful narratives.
