Youth UPF
Youth UPF encourages, sponsors and organises many types of events as well as focussing on leadership training for global citizenship.
From campaigners against child soldiers in Africa to those who were battling gang violence on the streets of London or environment clean up service projects, the common theme of the Youth Achievement Awards event in the House of Lords Committee Room on Wednesday 14th of July was exemplary young people who, as Tom Brake MP commented, had ‘got off their butts and in some cases had put their life on the line to make a difference.
Lord King of West Bromwich, who as a Patron of the Universal Peace Federation was hosting the event, added that this was one of the most enjoyable and meaningful afternoons he had spent in the House of Lords listening to the testimonies of young future leaders speak about their activities.
From the 22nd of June to the 1st of July, twenty four participants, ages ranging from 17 to 29, from eight nations engaged in different service activities in Israel and Palestine, (Beer Sheva, Bethany, Tel Aviv and Julis) as well as engaging in dialogue with local university students. Several local participants joined for short periods of time.
19-26 June 2008 - A joint venture by Service for Peace International and the Special Task Force Europe Volunteer Programme to rehabilitate a primary school in Amanvi, Tanda located in the Ivory Coast proved to be an enormous success. Volunteers gained invaluble experiences while contributing to the small community of the Ivory Coast nation.
