Youth engagement Through Peace Caravans
SPEAK has a unique platform for participants from different backgrounds to share space, ideas and showcase their talents
The peace caravans is a space where groups with historical animosity and conflicts (both refugee and host communities) get together and move from one place to another just to share talk, showcase their skills and build relationship.
Before Peace Caravans
SPEAK was inspired by the need to end violence that had taken a center stage amongst refugees and between refugees and host communities. This violence claimed many innocent lives
During Peace Caravans:
SPEAK got youths from both refugee and host communities to come together and conduct community service. This inspired them to promote peace and harmony among themselves in the communities they live in.
After Peace Caravans:
The intervention of SPEAK through peace caravans created a positive impact among the population, especially the youths.
