PeaceTech 4: Overcoming challenges for our indigenous youth

The theme of PeaceTech 4 is “Overcoming Challenges for Our Indigenous Youth.” Through a panel of young Indigenous storytellers from Mindanao and Luzon, your youth leaders will experience the common challenges facing the Philippines’ Indigenous youth. They will then hear stories of empowerment about young IPs strengthening their respective cultures. Finally, they will participate in creating joint resolutions between Mindanao and Luzon that will be sent to the government.

As with all PeaceTechs, youth from all backgrounds are encouraged to contribute to the dialogue. This includes Bangsamoro youth and other non-IPs.

PeaceTech is a new form of talk show connecting youth from Luzon all the way to Mindanao in live videoconferences. By leveraging technology, the series is uniting thousands of youth from all sectors in a mass dialogue about their future and the Philippines’ future.

UNICEF and the Australian and Canadian governments are supporting the series. Countless Filipino organizations, universities, schools, community groups and government agencies are involved.
