Who We Are

The European Youth Peace and Security Network (EYPS Network) is an international network of young activists, advocates, researchers, and changemakers present in more than 82 countries around the world. Founded on the principles and values of the European Union’s Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) Agenda, the network serves as a global platform for dialogue, cooperation, and collective action, enabling young people to actively contribute to the promotion of peace, human security, social cohesion, and sustainable development. Our vision is a world where every young person can help build peaceful, inclusive, and resilient societies. Our mission is to mobilize, connect, and empower young people so they can take part meaningfully in peace, security, and sustainable development.
