Internationale Vereinigung von Jugendlichen und Studierenden für den Frieden in Europa und dem Nahen Osten / International Association of Youth and Students for Peace - Europe and Middle East

IAYSP EUME is an international youth organization dedicated to promoting peaceful cooperation and sustainable development. By collaborating with institutions and organizations, it creates a dynamic environment for youth to engage, learn, and develop as leaders in their communities. The organization offers young people opportunities to participate in policy-making processes, attend UN events, and partner with institutions to advocate for peace. Key activities include organizing cultural exchanges, youth delegations to UN events, national and transnational dialogues on social issues, and designing peace training programs. Furthermore, IAYSP EUME hosts conferences and youth forums where young people can discuss global issues, share their knowledge with peers, learn from professionals, and engage in intercultural exchange. Through these initiatives they support networking, help international cooperation, and inspire intercultural learning, advancing the goal of sustainable development. Activities carried out by the IAYSP EUME, which are specifically related to this project, include the Peace Designer Training, which empowers participants to take action for sustainable peace, empowering them to make decisions through well-informed choices and ambition to lead peace projects within their own communities and establish initiatives in peace building and peace implementation processes that bring people together and cultivate social cohesion towards peace. Particularly relevant here are the S!NERGY events – international events with competitions where youth present their projects striving for achieving the United Nations SDGs. The goal of S!NERGY is to facilitate youth engagement in projects that follow the 17 SDGs, thereby offering a global stage where young people can receive professional feedback on their work and receive grants to further develop their initiatives
