4. “The positioning of youth in society has a bearing on their leadership potential and their pos-
sible role in peace building. The tension between young and old has been one of the key fea-
tures of inter-generational shifts pertaining to the control over power, resources and people.”
Mr. Mulatu Abebe
Peace Ambassador and Volunteer

5. Empowering youth as peace builder’s model has proven to be a
key approach in building a supportive and safe environment
for all youth to participate in peace building.
Peace research as a serious field of intellectual inquiry began in
the 1960s under the leadership of the Norwegian Johan Galtung
(1969), one of the founders of the International Peace Research
Association (Harris 2004). Galtung made an important distinc-
tion between negative peace and positive peace. Negative peace,
by averting war or stopping violence, implies the absence of direct,
personal violence. Positive peace, on the other hand, is a condi-
tion where non-violence, ecological sustainability and social jus-
tice remove the causes of violence. Positive peace requires both the
adoption of a set of beliefs by individuals and the presence of social
institutions that provide for an equitable distribution of resources
and peaceful resolution of conflict. Galtung also pointed out how
structural violence, the inequitable denial of resources, causes vio-
lence, thus expanding the field of peace studies beyond the study of
the interstate system that leads to war to the study of cultural vio-
lence, human rights and development.
