Alienation, exclusion, violence and cultural conflict pose a great threat to peoples lives and well-being. When these ills afflict the youth, as they now increasingly do in many parts of Europe, the threats and risks to society are magnified, and the very basis of society is attacked.
The deterioration of economic conditions brought about by the on-going global economic downturn accentuates the difficulties of overcoming insecurity, violence and confrontation in society. Rising unemployment leads to more anxiety, aggression, and civil unrest, especially among the youth.
While young people are sometimes perceived as a serious threat to peaceable communities, they play a critical role in building trust and harmony in an intercultural society. The main challenge is to engage the youth and their boundless energies for positive social transformation. In them lies our greatest hope and resource for achieving durable peace and unity in our culturally diverse societies.
In response to this challenge, the Art of Living Foundation and the International Association for Human Values have launched the YES We Can! Community Leadership Program (CLP). The mission of the YES We Can! CLP is to empower youth to create intercultural harmony and a stress-free, violence-free society.
YES We Can! CLP has three program goals: * Imbibe leadership skills and human values * Involve communities and people from diverse cultures * Inspire for positive social transformation and change
