16 x 16 blog series: SDG 16: Our Life, Our Future - What do YOUth mean by Meaningful Inclusion?

"I believe that achieving peace, justice and inclusion in any country is only possible when involving the youth". This is how Lynrose Jane D. Genon starts her blog "SDG 16: Our Life, Our Future - What do YOUth mean by Meaningful Inclusion?". Lynrose draws upon her personal experience of living through conflict and working for a culture of peace in the Philippines and sets forward recommendations on meaningful inclusion of youth in implementing SDG 16.

Lynrose is co-director of Youth Amplifying, Co-Creating and Advocating Peace (Project YACAP); part of Young Women + for Peace and Leadership in the Philippines (YW+PL-PH); and participant in the 16 x 16 Initiative. This is the first blog in a series of 16 blogs by the 16 x 16 participants.
