Let's face it
Violence endangers the very basics of our society. Our youth need to be inspired to understand that there are alternatives to violence. Attitudes have to be addressed within all areas of society; the family, the school, the work environment and through personal empowerment.
Each year over 2 million people worldwide lose their lives to violence. This is the leading cause of death for people aged 15 – 40. For every young person killed an estimated 40 receive injuries that require hospital treatment. Violence places a massive burden on national economies costing countries billions of dollars each year.
Let's do it
Young people are often faced with violence in different shapes. A lot of this violence happens in schools or on their free time in the community. We believe that adults, teachers, sports coaches, community leaders etc, has the responsibility to create a safe and creative environment for young people. This is done most efficiently in collaboration with the youth.
We can reduce violence with the involvement from the youth themselves. We need young leaders. They can make a difference and become important role models for change.
