The regional awareness-raising and lobbying campaign for peace education for youth was held in Bertoua on September 23 and 24, 2025, following those in the Nord West, Far North and South West regions. Under the theme: \u201cLet\u2019s act now for a peaceful community,\u201d this event brought together more than one hundred young people from the four departments of the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n
Over two days, the campaign mobilized, raised awareness, and engaged young people in a collective reflection on the causes, manifestations, and sustainable solutions to youth violence. It led to a strengthening of dialogue between young people, administrative and municipal authorities, community and religious leaders, civil society actors, and development partners, around a common goal: to make peace education a sustainable lever for social cohesion and positive transformation in the East Region and Cameroon.<\/p>\n
The adopted working methodology, based on group work, resulted in groups of young people from formal and non-formal educational settings, as well as informal settings (markets, bus stations, crafts, agriculture, etc.).

<\/p>\n
In short, this initiative, which is part of the activities of the Cameroon Civil Peace Service (SCP), supported by Bread for the World, with the aim of strengthening the culture of peace, social cohesion, and the resilience of local communities, marks a decisive turning point in the promotion of peace education in the Eastern Region. The young ambassadors of the Eastern Region emerge from this exercise strengthened, empowered and carrying a clear vision: that of a Cameroon where peace, justice and solidarity constitute the foundations of a shared future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
