The Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) is pleased to announce the opening of nominations for the 100 young ICESCO Ambassadors, participants in the third edition of the Leadership Training Program for Peace and Security, to participate in its award for the most innovative youth initiatives for peace.

The competition aims to enable the ICESCO Young Ambassadors to put into practice the knowledge acquired during the training program and to benefit from their exchange with inspiring leaders to present projects and initiatives in various fields of peace-building, including education, culture, science, artificial intelligence and climate change, in line with ICESCO’s “Peace 360°” approach, which relies on a multidisciplinary methodology to train and mobilize young leaders.

The projects and initiatives submitted will be subject to rigorous evaluation criteria, as in the two previous editions of the competition; 45 projects were evaluated by a multidisciplinary jury made up of ICESCO experts as well as external experts and young peace ambassadors from previous editions. The most innovative initiatives received financial and technical support from ICESCO for their implementation.

ICESCO adopts a holistic “360° Peace” approach to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, taking into account the diversity of factors that contribute to peace-building. This approach is applied at strategic, academic and societal levels.
