The PeaceJam Youth Conference (for PeaceJam participants ages 14-19)
The PeaceJam Youth Conference is a two-day gathering of high school youth in one of the established affiliate regions. Approximately 400 people attend, representing a broad and diverse cross-section of the communities in each region. At the conference, participants interact with the featured Nobel Peace Prize Laureate through question and answer sessions and presentations from the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. Students also have a chance to present their plans for initiating positive change in their communities directly to the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. When the participants are not interacting with the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, they are engaged in many different activities. These activities include a variety of leadership workshops, meetings in small groups with youth from different schools, team building games and more. The youth also participate in a service project set up in the community in which the conference is held.
