Our Approach

GYDI Adopts its Mother Organization I.e. Generations For Peace unique curriculum designed to empower our volunteers with practical knowledge and skills to apply peacebuilding theory to situations of destructive conflict in their communities. It equips them to organise activities for children, work with youth and adults, train other volunteers, and gather support by building and strengthening community networks and partnerships. Our mentoring model provides support to our volunteers in every step of their engagement with Generations For Peace, and helps build their confidence when engaged in the challenging contexts of their home communities. Our cascading model increases reach and reinforces the sustainability of our volunteers’ own peacebuilding efforts, whilst responding to local needs and building on local assets, knowledge, and strengths. It also ensures that the number of volunteers implementing Generations For Peace programmes continues to grow exponentially, bringing the hope of lasting peace to more generations in communities around the world. Generations For Peace empowers and mentors volunteer leaders of youth through its Pioneer Certification Programme. The Programme is key to implementing, supporting, and sustaining behaviour change in the communities around the world.
