WYAP Women and Youth Agents of Peace

WYAP: Women and Youth Agents of Peace

Join us on our Journey!

The Project WYAP – Women and Youth Agents of Peace is active in the Southern Caucasus. This project aims to empower women and youth as integral agents of peace by enhancing their capacities, networks, and visibility in the peace-building processes across the region, and thereby contributing to a more resilient and peaceful Southern Caucasus.

About the WYAP Project

The Women and Youth Action for Peace (WYAP) engaged emerging and established leaders and doers from Armenia and Georgia to foster cross-border collaboration that was based upon trust-building, shared learnings, and creating lasting impact for the region.  Gathering participants from both rural and urban communities, the initiative focused on building capacity and exchanging knowledge areas identified via discussions including political participation, women’s rights, peacebuilding, and regional security. With a strong foundation in community engagement and a deep commitment to cooperation, WYAP empowered a diverse network of women and youth dedicated to shaping a more peaceful and resilient South Caucasus.

 

Our activities

Seeds of Hope: Nurturing Peace in the South Caucasus

In November 2024, we held a conference in Yerevan, Armenia, bringing together women and youth peace-builders from Armenia and Georgia. The event was an opportunity for the participants to expand their skill sets, learn from each, and grow a network within in the region.

Webinar Series

Our webinar series aims at building a wide range of skills for our participants. From cultural aspects of peace-building, peace-making tools and strategies to legal instruments, as well as navigating “Fake News” and misinformation or creating a communications strategy—the WYAP community gets the opportunity to grow and learn. In our closed Facebook Group, we do follow-up posts or provide additional information:
