31 August - 9 September
The Olympic Youth Peace Ambassadors Training and Assistance Programme brings together youth from all around the world including conflict zones and areas suffering violence everyday to the London Olympics to highlight the 6 weeks of Global Truce that has been historically backed by all UN member countries to run from 25th July to 9th September this summer. Whilst in the UK the youth will undergo a profound 10 day workshop programme training them as Olympic youth peace ambassadors. After the Olympics they will continue the work of peace-making in their home communities and around the world in UNESCOs Youth Peace Ambassador Network, providing a lasting Olympic legacy of a global youth peace network continuing to live the Olympic Truce.
