International Peace Youth Group

International Peace Youth Group was formed from groups of young people coming together with the vision and determination to unite people across borders, cultures, languages and races. We aim to foster a spirit of appreciation and respect for the diversity of humanity, as well as for all individuals that create that diversity. IPYG started their work nationally in South Korea and mobilized thousands of youth across the country through their signature peace walk. It didn't take long before youth around the world recognized the efforts and importance of IPYG’s purpose and they too started hosting the peace walks with their youth.

IPYG has recently merged with the MANNAM International Youth Coalition (MIYC) which consists of a untied body of youth organizations from all around the world, bringing over a hundred more international affiliates to join forces with IPYG through their powerful peace-driven projects.

Organizations affiliated to IPYG will engage in collaborative projects throughout the year, meeting once or twice annually to participate in youth summits aimed at developing practical and sustainable solutions to the challenges facing us in the pursuit of peace. Everyone wants peace, so why has it not yet been attained? This is the kind of topic IPYG will address. We recognize that it is only with all of our seemingly small efforts combined that we can begin to see big results.

It is our goal to become a platform were all youth will be able to meet and encounter one another in a meaningful way through IPYG, and go on to make a great difference in the lives of people we meet in turn.
