​

The main aim of this Part of YOCOPAS is Connect.

 Bringing together High School youth leaders from Israel, Palestine and the world to incubate mutual understanding, social entrepreneurship and collaborative action that will enhance peace and sustainability for the benefit of their community. 

​

This year’s YOCOPAS theme will be: Eco – Systems of Peace:Interconnected system.

 

YOCOPAS will explore elements of Eco-Systems of Peace; what contributes to a system or network of peace and what inhibits it? What are the key determinants of peace that must be present in order to reach real peace?

 

Drawing upon lessons learned from global examples, YOCOPAS will explore the role of elements that may be required to bring peace to any context, including the Middle East.
