 MISSION
Inspiring, motivating and engaging young people to make their lives and communities safer and healthier VSION To create a meeting place for the next generation leaders STRATEGIC APPROACH
Our approach is focused on three main initiatives: a strong Internet presence, an active presence in schools and sports clubs, and maintaining a high visibility through our unique symbol. Each year over 2 million people worldwide lose their lives to violence. This is the leading cause of death for people aged 15 – 40. For every young person killed an estimated 40 receive injuries that require hospital treatment. Violence places a massive burden on national economies costing countries billions of dollars each year. Violence endangers our society.
Our youth need to be inspired to understand that there are alternatives
to violence. Attitudes have to be addressed within all areas of
society; the family, the school, the work environment and through
personal empowerment. Young people are often faced with violence in different shapes. A lot of this violence happens in schools or on their free time in the community. We believe that adults, teachers, sports coaches, community leaders etc, have the responsibility to create a safe and creative environment for young people. This is done most efficiently in collaboration with the youth. We can reduce violence with the involvement from the youth themselves. We need young leaders. They can make a difference and become important role models for change. Teacher are one of the most important individuals in a young persons life. We want to give teachers as much support as we can in order for them to be able to deliver an inspirational violence prevention education to their students. |
