Participants at the level of Ministers, senior representatives of UNDP and other specialized agencies of the UN, experts of the international organizations including OSCE, government officials, representatives of non-governmental organizations and academicians will get together with 200 young leaders coming from more than 30 countries from Africa to Central Asia to discuss ways and means of strengthening the role of youth in preventing and countering violent extremism.

Panel discussions will provide a platform for showcasing the contribution of young people to peace-building efforts and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Concrete case studies will be presented on de-radicalization strategies and programs through the use of innovative methods including social media and sports. The Conference will serve as an opportunity for young leaders to exchange experience and knowledge on P/CVE and to build South-South and Triangular partnerships.
