Event Navigation
Youth’s unique and diverse actions have made a valuable contribution to addressing the causes of violent extremism but this has not always been adequately considered in policy-making processes. This side event aims to provide recommendations for the effective incorporation of youth perspectives in PVE-through-sport policies and plans, compiled through several youth consultations the UN Global Sports Programme has organized since 2021. Given the multilateral nature of the sport-for-PVE efforts, the panel discussion will gather athletes, youth representatives, UN entities, Member States, civil society, and regional organizations to address the pivotal role of youth and the importance of effective cooperation in the use of sport in prevention efforts.
