July 12, 2025: An international relay race for all ages with the goal of building a world of brotherhood.

What:

A path of education, action, and celebration, enriched with an intercultural immersion journey, with the goal of helping young people become PEACE LEADERS in service of our world.

Who is it for?

Peace Leaders is for young people aged 17 to 30, from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, who want to make a difference. It's an inspiring and innovative program that demands commitment and active participation. By applying, the young person commits to attending the six sessions, led by coaches from various fields who provide support in developing a peace project within each work team.

Program Structure:

The program is built on four pillars:

• Training: Young people discover and embrace Lifestyle4Peace—a lifestyle based on concrete attitudes such as respect, listening, dialogue, service, etc. With professional trainers, they learn how to apply these values .
• Action: Each participant develops or joins a group project on peace, supported by coaches.
• Travel: The heart of the program is an intercultural immersion week in Loppiano, Italy, a place where peace and brotherhood are lived. This allows young people to anchor their commitment in real-life experiences.
• Celebration: The program concludes with a shared celebration of commitments and personal transformations.
