Outline
The PACEY (Peace, nuclear Abolition and Climate Engaged Youth) Award was established in 2020 by the Basel Peace Office to highlight successful or promising youth projects, and to provide support for the winners. The Award, which is co-sponsored by the City of Basel, provides two winning projects each with a €5000 prize plus program assistance to help build success.
Faith for Earth Bosna i Hercegovina, a youth-led program building cooperation between Catholic and Muslim youth on environmental action, and Keep it in the Ground for Peace, a youth-led campaign to stop fossil fuel extraction in Africa, were selected as the two winners of the PACEY Youth Award 2022.
Join us to learn about these two inspiring youth-led initiatives, plus the peace and disarmament initiatives of Youth Fusion, winners of the 2022 Gorbachev/Schultz Legacy Youth Award.
