UNSCR 2250 & Beyond: A Youth Toolkit {Special Edition}
In December 2015, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 2250 (UNSCR 2250), the first-ever thematic resolution on Youth, Peace and Security (YPS). This historic document is very important for us as young peacebuilders, as it brings recognition and legitimacy to youth’s efforts in building peace.
The toolkit is divided into five sections:
- Key documents
- UNSCR 2250 progress: 5 years
- New YPS focus areas
- Implementing UNSCR 2250
- What’s next?
The previous edition of this toolkit has been translated to Korean and Spanish. We will include links to the translations of this new edition once they become available.
#Beyond2250 special edition
Long before YPS was formally recognised by UNSCR 2250, young people were driving the agenda, and continue to lead the way. To celebrate youth in peacebuilding, we’re dedicating this toolkit to young people everywhere. On 12 August 2021, International Youth Day, we launched our #Beyond2250 competition, where people posted their favourite picture of young people building peace on social media (Facebook, Instagram or Twitter) with the hashtag #Beyond2250. From these, we created a #Youth4Peace mural included in this special edition of the toolkit. Enjoy 🙂
This current toolkit was last updated in May 2021 by members of UNOY’s Pool of Trainers, coordinated by Charlotte Davidi and Nadia Terpiłowska: Authors | Annabella Stieren, Sebastian Schweitzer, Leonardo Párraga; Editors | Meg Villanueva & Moe Sasaki; Designer | Moe Sasaki. It builds upon UNOY’s original 2250 toolkit, contributed to by Andrea Curcio, Clara Pietrek, Iram Parveen, Ludmila Dias Andrade, Matilda Flemming, Miraji Hassan Mohamed, Mridul Upadhyay, Romeral Ortiz Quintilla. Illustrations were provided by Mena Marleen Wellen and most photos taken by Leonardo Párraga.
