Peace Lab For Youth

Peace Lab for Youth (PLY) is a one-month initiative that starts with a workshop series and concludes with a summit that includes the participation of diverse youths and presenters from government agencies, civil society organisations, academia and businesses. PLY is one of INITIATE.MY’s public advocacy initiatives to empower young advocates of peace and tolerance to build social resilience against violent and nonviolent extremism in Malaysia. PLY curriculum includes Freedom of Religion and Belief (FoRB), Radicalisation, Advocacy Tools, Advocacy Skills and Project Implementation & Reporting.

PLY recognises the role of youth in the promotion of peace, human rights and nonviolence. This is in line with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250 (2015), 2419 (2018) and 2535 (2020).
