The Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) announced on Monday, 16 March 2026, the selection of 47 new young Peace Ambassadors from 42 countries, selected from among 3,000 applicants as part of the fourth cohort of its Leadership Training in Peace and Security (LTIPS). This brings the total number of ICESCO Young Peace Ambassadors to 227.

This two-year training program aims to foster peace through 10 training modules, focusing primarily on strengthening youth leadership and raising awareness of the importance of driving positive change within communities. The program involves a wide range of leaders, experts, and specialists, while also reinforcing ties with the network of Young Peace Ambassadors from previous cohorts to build the capacities of youth and women in sustainable development and peace, and to promote social cohesion and coexistence.

ICESCO’s Leadership Training in Peace and Security, whose previous editions have yielded 87 youth projects and hundreds of activities, forms part of the Organization’s “360° Peace” approach. This comprehensive, multidisciplinary framework seeks to promote sustainable peace by addressing key development areas and implementing hundreds of initiatives aimed at advancing the values of peace, dialogue, and citizenship.
