9. “We cannot control the way
people interpret our ideas or
thoughts, but we can control
the words and tones we
choose to convey them.
Peace is built on
understanding, and wars are
built on misunderstandings.
Never underestimate the
power of a single word, and
never recklessly throw around
words. One wrong word, or
misinterpreted word, can
change the meaning of an
entire sentence and start a
war. And one right word, or
one kind word, can grant you
the heavens and open doors.”

10. WHY WE EXIST
 Extremism and terrorism are considered one of the
most serious crises and challenges facing the whole
world In particular Africa and the middle east, where
the real dialogue between different cultures and
democracy is absent in some countries.
 The wrong use of the internet and social media is
turning into battlegrounds between members of one
community and multiple societies, instead of using it
as tools for cooperation and constructive
communication.
 Lack of confidence of young people in their ability to
change their communities for the better and not
trained effectively in decision-making at many levels,
these factors make youth easy to embrace violence
and extremism.

11. WHY WE EXIST
 Therefore, when youth get enough support by their
ability of contributing in decision making and real
peaceful changes; it will absolutely make huge
differences on the ground.
 We propose the establishing of The Global Youth
Parliament for Intercultural Dialogue (GYPID) under
the umbrella of the UN General Assembly, It will
format from different youth of the world, and involves
young people from different countries of the world to
include several categories, political, racial, religions
and beliefs without any kind of discrimination, It shall
have regional and international elections and
committees to play its supervisory, awareness and
monitoring role in all matters related to youth issues.

12. WHY WE SHOULD EXIST
 The parliament shall act as a warning bell against
the marginalization of youth or the use of
language of discrimination against them.
 We are working towards achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - Goals
16 and 17, as a world free of violence and
extremist ideology. This will greatly contribute to
increasing opportunities for economic cooperation
and communication between nations more freely,
thus contributing to a better world where all can
live in security peace and prosperity.

13. OUR MISSIONS
 The (GYPID) is a non-partisan. This global
network is an opportunity for a citizen investment
in social projects around the world. The main
missions of the Global Youth Parliament for
Intercultural Dialogue are:

combating its access to the minds of many
young people through an interactive platform that
will provide free space for exchange of opinions
and correct many misconceptions that may drive
individuals to violence and extremism and will
provide a space for acquaintance and exchange
of experiences between young people from
different cultures and communities.

similarities and differences between different cultural
traditions and perceptions;

political factors present in a democratic decision-

understand the global mechanisms of cultural

and exchange ideas and experiences as a tool for
conflict resolution, countering violent extremism

18. OUR VALUES AND STRATEGIES

19. CONCLUSION
 Young people are among the first victims of extremism,
conflict and radicalization. However, they should be part
of the solution, their participation in the prevention and
resolution of disputes is therefore essential to the
establishment of lasting peace in our modern world. Our
young parliamentarians have a key role to play in
addressing the drivers of conflicts in their regions and
contributing to solutions. Building on UN Security
Council Resolution 2250, adopted in 2015, which sets
out international commitments to youth, peace and
security, we will work with all young people around the
globe; to help them strengthen the peace and security
agenda. We will support their efforts to prevent violent
extremism and to contribute to reconciliation and peace
